tracker issue : CF-4126625

Currently, cfpdfparam(description="" and cfpdfparam(description=" " throw "The attribute description specified in the CFPDFPARAM tag is either empty or invalid."

Issue: If the description attribute is omitted, then Adobe Acrobat/Reader displays "null" for the description.

Suggestion: It would be nicer (IMO) if we could prevent the "null" from appearing in Acrobat/Reader, by being able to set the cfpdfparam description to an empty string.

Repro:

<cfscript>
  cfdocument(format="pdf", filename=expandPath('./MyPDF.pdf'), overwrite=true) {writeOutput("my PDF");};
  cfdocument(format="pdf", filename=expandPath('./MyPDFAttachment.pdf'), overwrite=true) {writeOutput("my PDF attachment");};
  cfpdf(action="addattachments", source=expandPath('./MyPDF.pdf'), destination=expandPath("./MyPDFWithAttachments.pdf"), overwrite=true) {
	  cfpdfparam(source=expandPath('./MyPDFAttachment.pdf'), filename="MyPDFAttachment.pdf", encoding="UTF-8", description="") {};//throws: coldfusion.tagext.lang.PDFParamTag$EmptyAttributeException: The attribute description specified in the CFPDFPARAM tag is either empty or invalid.
  };
  
  cfdocument(format="pdf", filename=expandPath('./MyPDF.pdf'), overwrite=true) {writeOutput("my PDF");};
  cfdocument(format="pdf", filename=expandPath('./MyPDFAttachment.pdf'), overwrite=true) {writeOutput("my PDF attachment");};
  cfpdf(action="addattachments", source=expandPath('./MyPDF.pdf'), destination=expandPath("./MyPDFWithAttachments.pdf"), overwrite=true) {
	  cfpdfparam(source=expandPath('./MyPDFAttachment.pdf'), filename="MyPDFAttachment.pdf", encoding="UTF-8", description=" ") {};//throws: coldfusion.tagext.lang.PDFParamTag$EmptyAttributeException: The attribute description specified in the CFPDFPARAM tag is either empty or invalid.
  };
</cfscript>
