Is it possilbe to save pdfs to a variable to be used later, rather than saving to a file?

Question

I am contiuing from an unresolved thread I done ages ago@
http://forums.adobe.com/thread/574764?decorator=print&displayFullThread=true
The point of interest is this:
Folks, I don't see anyone suggesting one feature that may help here. You don't really need to create files with these CFPDF* tags if you don't want to.
For  instance, as seems Paule's issue, if one tag creates something that  then another would use (as his CFPDFFORM result then being flattened),  you can use the NAME attribute (instead of destination) to indicate a  variable to hold the output of an earlier step, and then use that  variable in the SOURCE of a later step.

Im trying to do something like this:
<cfpdfform source="#source#" name="test2" action="populate"  overwrite="yes" >
    <cfpdfformparam name="1" value="1">
  </cfpdfform>
  <cfmail type="html" to="[email protected]"
                from="wd"  subject="hi"
                        mimeattach="#test2#"
however I get the error:
The resource coldfusion.pdf.PDFDocWrapper@e9055b was not found.
