Cfdocument invalid token format pdf

Question

I keep getting this error:
Here is the whole tag:
<cfdocument
    format = "PDF"
    backgroundVisible = "no"
    filename = "test.pdf"
    localUrl = "yes"
    marginBottom = "1"
    marginLeft = "1"
    marginRight = "1"
    marginTop = "1"
    mimeType = "text/plain"
    name = "Test"
    orientation = "portrait"
    overwrite = "yes"
    pageType = "letter"
    permissions = "AllowPrinting,AllowCopy"
    permissionspassword = "password to access restricted permissions"
    saveAsName = "Test2"
    unit = "in">
Any advice is very welcome.

A first guess is that it has to be something other than the attribute, format = "PDF", as that is frequently trodden ground. To debug this, start with the following, simpler code:
<cfdocument
    format = "PDF"
    backgroundVisible = "no"
    filename = "test.pdf"> Some text </cfdocument>
If it fails, then the likely cause is that Coldfusion is unable to access the directory /CFIDE/scripts/. If works, then continue adding attributes, one by one, and testing.
