Jeff,
An alternative is to use HTMLDoc (see http://www.easysw.com) on
your server and call it either via cfexecute or using the custom tag
CF_Html2Pdf3. That one works very well, but you have to have HTMLDoc
installed on your server. I've also used this approach with our
employment application (internal only). Basically sandwich your output
between <CF_Html2Pdf3> tags and it automatically converts the content
to a PDF. You can download CF_Html2Pdf3 at the Macromedia CF exchange:
http://www.macromedia.com/cfusion/exchange/index.cfm#view=sn106&viewName=Exchange%20Search%20Details&loc=en_us&authorid=35342392&page=0&scrollPos=0&subcatid=0&snid=sn106&itemnumber=0&extid=1002789&catid=0
>From the exchange:
CF_HTML2PDF3 allows you to create PDF files from any dynamic CFM page simply by encasing whatever portion of the page you wish to display inside the opening and closing CF_HTML2PDF3 tags.
usage syntax:
<CF_HTML2PDF3 myHTMLDOC="c:\cfusion\htmldoc.exe" myOPTIONS="--landscape --fontsize 10pt">
<TABLE> <CFOUTPUT QUERY="myQuery"> <TR><TD>#myData#</TD></TR> </CFOUTPUT></TABLE> </CF_HTML2PDF3>
There are some limitations, no CSS, forms or JS and HTMLDoc is limited to HTML 3.1 but otherwise it works as advertised.
hth,
