But we want to generate the same file in PDF format.

Hi Kishore,

Welcome to ColdFusion!...

It is throwing that error since that <cfdocument> tag is only available from version MX7 and above.

Try the iText library, which is free and available at,

And for using that library along with CF (for generating PDF documents) there is one nice tutorial available at,

Hi,

Thanks for your quick response.i am very happy with that.Now i am doing work on that only.

My question is

is there any tag to create PDF format(like <cfdocument>), to avoid scripting couldfusion.

Could u please help me on the same.

Hi Kishore,

Since you are using 6.1, the options are very limited....

I found this custom tag in Adobe exchange, Please give it a try...
