Hi

First design the cfm page in general way how it has display.
once this is done then put those 2 tags in the first, and run this file..it will shows in pdf format.

I though it was not possible to show PDF format on 6.1, you can do the excel and word doc, but PDF I'm not sure, because the document tag was introduced in MX 7
