Correct answer

after you created the pdf with cfpdf you set permissions for the document with the permissions attribute and apply them by setting the action attribute to "protect":

<cfpdf  permissions="None" action="protect" source="cfpdf_name" >

I have not played with CFPDF in quite a while, but I believe you can set an attribute so that the document is read only. Would that solve your issue?

Thanks for the replyI think this would work, but I can't find the attribute that allows the pdf to display as read only.

alternatively, I was thinking I was thinking if there was any way to make it so that cfpdf displays the a passworded pdf (without having the user enter the pw). however when if the user tries to save the file it will remain passworded.
