PDF extension changed to DOC

[tgoold]

I'm using Verity and ColdFusion 8. I'm displaying the hyperlink of a pdf, but when it displays, it shows as a doc file. It still opens the pdf, but I would like to show the correct extension. Here's my code:

<!--- HREF to file is produced using either FILE protocol
or HTTP, depending on whether this is a web document.
so, we'll look at the file ext to determine if it's
a web doc or not --->
<cfset FileName=GetFileFromPath(Key)>
<cfset Ext=ListLast(FileName, ".")>
<!--- Display title if there is one, else name --->
<cfif Trim(Title) IS "">
<cfset display=GetFileFromPath(Key)>
<cfelse>
<cfset display=title>
</cfif>
<!--- Now display it --->
Key=#Key# <br>
display=#display# <br>
<a href="#url#">#display#</a> (#score#)

And here's what it returns. Out of about 300 pdfs listed, it only displays 3 as a pdf, all others are showing as a doc file.

Key=C:\ColdFusion8\wwwroot\Decisions07\Corporation\0718719 & 0719549.pdf
display=Microsoft Word - 18719 & 19549.doc
Microsoft Word - 18719 & 19549.doc (1.0000)

What is the value of the title variable?

[tgoold]

title = Microsoft Word - 18719 & 19549.doc

I don't know why but it's also adding "Microsoft Word - " to the title. The real name of the pdf file is 18719 & 19549.pdf.

Thanks.

I think I figured it out. display was being set to title. But I don't know how title got set to that Microsoft title. Weird. Anyway, I'm happy for now. Thanks.

the title was set to that because that is the title stored in the pdf's
metadata/properties (?). your pdf must have been created from a word doc
and all word doc properties (title, author, summary, etc etc) were
imported into the pdf. when verity indexes pdf files, it looks into file
properties stored in the file.

Thanks for that clarification. Yes, they did come from Word. I was totally confused as to where it came from. Thanks again.
