<CFIF #URL.PDF# EQ 'Yes'>

</CFDOCUMENT>

</CFIF>

You cannot split the opening and closing cfdocument tags that way, or most cf tags for that matter. The entire cfdocument must reside within the cfif tags:

<cfif URL.pdf eq "someValue">

    <cfdocument....> content </cfdocument>

</cfif>

Also, you can get rid of the extra # signs. They are not needed.
