Afternoon! I am creating a pdf utilizing the cfdocument tag and it works great. It opens and displays well. My question is, is there a way to automatically save that generated pdf on the server without opening it? My end goal is to run a scheduled task every week that creates and saves a pdf automatically.

All I needed to do was add the filename attribute to the tag per Craig's suggestion.

it will save a copy of the pdf in the same folder as the <cfdocument> is run from, the problem I got is it wond display the pdf at creation time, all that is returned to my screen is the letter "z"

so may be best to fun the code in a loop and one time add in the filename and overwrite paramaters, if you dont need it displayed, then your gold.

Doh! idesdema - definitely use Craig's suggestion. I've used name= so

many times in the past I forgot about the filename attribute as well.

Will do. I meant to mark his answer as Correct but pressed Useful instead. Wups! Wish I could change that. Thanks Craig!!! Works like a charm.

If you use the "name" attribute of cfdocument, the data is stored in

binary and not sent to the user. You can then just fileSave() that

puppy to the file system.
