I need to be able to change the document I create from CFML using the following;

<cfdocument format="pdf" permissions="allowmodifycontents,allowprinting" encryption="128-bit" authpassword="" authuser="">

The document seems to be fine. I just have to allow for minor changes.

I downloaded Acrobat Pro 9 and took out permissions and password. Still no change. I cannot edit the document.

Same general idea, different details. If you were able to produce the document, you should be able to reproduce it. Run the code that produced the content, and present it for the user to edit.

Then overwrite the file.

We're still not talking apples and apples yet. The user cannot edit the PDF. That's the problem.

edit the code that created the document to incorporate your changes and run it again.

I guess I wasn't clear. I have a cfml page that includes;

<cfdocument format="pdf">
<cfform method="post" name="search2" preloader="no" action="index.cfm?fa=viewSearch&searchnum=#searchnum#">
<cfparam name="outstanding" default="" >
<cfparam name="retaineramount" default="" >
<div align="center"> <cfoutput>

The generated page is where I need to allow users to make minor changes.
The page generates just fine.
