Friends,

I am trying to create pdf file and save in a folder. So i can email pdf using cfmailparam.

<cfset filevar=#emp_no#&"_"&#dateformat(now(),'mm/dd/yyyy')#>
<cfdocument format="pdf" srcfile="#pdfpath#" filename="#filevar#" overwrite="yes">

i am getting an error...

same code...i created pdf using<cfdocument></cfdocument>...works fine...

but when i change to this...<cfdocument format="pdf" srcfile="#pdfpath#" filename="#filevar#" overwrite="yes">

code is throwing an error...
An exception occurred when performing document processing. The system cannot find the path specified.

Please help me....

you can't have / in a filename.

Thanks Azadi. Changed the code..

cfset filevar=#emp_no#&"_"&#dateformat(now(),'mm_dd_yyyy')#>
<cfdocument format="pdf" srcfile="#pdfpath#" filename="#filevar#" overwrite="yes">

Now code is running without any error.

but pdf file is not created and saved in the folder...why?.

Do i need more attribute for this?.

Are you sure you are looking in right folder? Try looking in the same folder as the template containing your code.

Your filename attribute needs the path to the file as well as it's name.
