Merging FDF data into PDF form

Question

Hello all.
To fill pdf form we use such url:
http://server/form.pdf#FDF=http://server/get_xfdf
So as result will be opened pd form in browser and filled with received data.
This works in all browsers except Safari.
Tested on FF 3.5, IE6, IE7, IE8, Opera, Chrome.
What can be the reason? Why Safari don't want load xfdf/fdf data?
Additional info can be found here (chapter 5): http://www.aces.edu/ctu/techref/software/acrobat/5.x/FormSys.pdf
Thanks in advance, Andron.

No worries,
I've done this elsewhere and it seems to work quite well -
please bear with me though as the page this code is from handles
multiple documents so I've tried to cut that stuff out to make it
easier for you..
<cfset downloadroot=
"C:\inetpub\wwwroot\site\whatever">
<cfset dirName = createuuid()>
<cfset downloadDir = "#downloadroot#\#dirName#">
<cfdirectory action="CREATE" directory="#downloadDir#">
//okay, you're temp dir is now created...
<cfset documents="C:\blah wherever your secured documents
are stored">
<cfset filename="whateverthe name is of the file you are
allowing download of.doc">
//run a cfdirectory list - or fileexists() to check if the
document exists
<cfdirectory action="LIST" directory="#documents#"
filter="#filename#" name="checkDocument">
<cfif checkDocument.recordcount gt 0>
<cffile action="COPY" source="#documents#\#filename#"
destination="#downloadDir#\#filename#">
<a href="#downloadDir#/#filename#">#filename#</a>
</cfif>
You might need to play around with your directory variables,
regarding / vs \ usage in them, maybe have one dir var for system
usage eg: uses \ and one for the final HTML safe one eg: /
Hope it works for ya champ!
