I have a tough question. I am trying to use cfdocument to generate a huge PDF file with 5000+ images
after failing (even with CF64bits and 8GB of RAM), I was analyzing the PDF generated by iText (the lib used by coldfusion), and it seams every image included in the PDF is using the FlateDecode encoding, instead of the DCTDecode for jpeg images with the FlateDecode, images get 10x bigger, as FlateDecode is a zlib compression also, iText tries to use the memory buffer for the cache of the document The only way to this document generation to be feasable is if I can change iText to use DCTDecode on the images, and use a disk based buffer instead of a memory based buffer the real question: can I update iText with a more recent version ? if so, does this fix this issue? If I can't update the internal iText implementation, is there a easy way to convert html to pdf using an external iText implementation called by CreateObject ? answers suggesting me to use something else than coldfusion won't be very helpful, since I already know that, but I want to use coldfusion to generate those PDFs Comparing with other PHP and ASP.NET <http://asp.net/> based solutions, coldfusion pdf generation is bloated and slow and I am trying to fix that ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~| Adobe® ColdFusion® 8 software 8 is the most important and dramatic release to date Get the Free Trial http://ad.doubleclick.net/clk;207172674;29440083;f Archive: http://www.houseoffusion.com/groups/cf-talk/message.cfm/messageid:319260 Subscription: http://www.houseoffusion.com/groups/cf-talk/subscribe.cfm Unsubscribe: http://www.houseoffusion.com/cf_lists/unsubscribe.cfm?user=89.70.4
