CFdocument on local files

[rottmanja]

I am working on a paperless transaction system, that will make use of the new
cfdocument tag. How ever I am not using a remote webpage or file. I am using
local files that are run through a process. When I try to run the code below,
all it outputs is the line within the cfdocument tag. Does anyone know how I
can dynamically pull the files and have them displayed as pdf's through the
cfdocument tag.

HEre is the code that I am currently testing.

<cfif cmd is "pdfProcess">
<cfdirectory name="dListDocuments"
directory="#faxPath#"
filter="*.tif">

<cfoutput query="dListDocuments">#name#<br></cfoutput>

<cfdocument
format="pdf"><cfoutput>#faxPath#/#dListDocuments.name#</cfoutput></cfdocument>
</cfif>

CFDocument will render everything inside of it as if it were an HTML page.
So if the images were in an image tag it would work (but not with .tiff's,
you'd need to convert them to a web format)

I have abandoned the idea of useing cfdocument to manipulate the files. What I
am now trying to do is figure out how to give my web app the functionality of
acrobt writer in a web browser. I have seen it done in a few php applications
but havent been able to figure out how they did it.
