UTF-8 encoding when writing to a PDF

[Brook Davies]

I am totally stuck on this one. I am using an old Ben Forta tag cf_pdfform.
I’m still using it because it makes writing to a PDF form and populating
fields easier than using the native cfpdf form population methods.

The problem is that any strings with UTF-8 characters get truncated at the
first character.

The method basically takes an XMl string of form data and the PDF form/file
and returns the populated PDF document (in this case in bytes). The XML I am
testing with looks good:

 Grave accent (à, è, ù): Over a or u, used primarily
to distinguish homophones: à ("to") vs. a ("has"), ou ("or") vs1. où
("where", note that ù exists1 only in this word). Over an e, 1indicates the
sound

// PDF form input stream
formIS=CreateObject("java", "java.io.FileInputStream");
formIS.init(ARGUMENTS.PDFForm);

// Get PDF document object
PDFfactory=server.javaLoader.create("com.adobe.pdf.PDFFactory");
PDFdoc=PDFfactory.openDocument(formIS);

// Convert raw XML data to byte array
bytes=ARGUMENTS.XMLData.getBytes("UTF-8");
byteArrayIS=CreateObject("java", "java.io.ByteArrayInputStream");
byteArrayIS.init(bytes);

// Perform actual import
PDFdoc.importFormData(byteArrayIS);

//Call the PDFDocument object's save method
outputIS=PDFdoc.save();

// Read bytes
byteClass=CreateObject("java", "java.lang.Byte").TYPE;
PDFBytes=CreateObject("java",
"java.lang.reflect.Array").newInstance(byteClass, outputIS.available());

// And store them
outputIS.read(PDFBytes);

But when I executed the code below and then write the bytes via CFILE
CHARSET=”UTF-8”, the form field data is truncated in the resulting PDF.
Anybody have any ideas?

Brook

Re: CFMAIL Problem with new TLDs

[Cameron Childress]

The .ca domain belongs to Canada and is 24 years old (
http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/.ca).

I suspect your problem lies elsewhere.

Re: CFMAIL Problem with new TLDs

CF will try to send an email to any address you give it, even a complete
nonsense address, it is the SMTP server that will reject it. I have never
had any issues sending emails to 2 letter TLD's such as .co or .ca
So you should firstly investigate DNS and SMTP issues

CFMAIL Problem with new TLDs

[Robert Harrison]

On CF9, cfmail seems to be having a problem sending email to some of the newer 
address, like som...@sprucegrove.ca . This is a valid email address, but CF9 
CFMAIL is chocking on this and a other valid addresses that use the newer two 
character TLDs. 

If I try to send to that address, CFMAIL bombs and halts. If I wrap it in CFTRY 
with a CFCATCH to show me the failures, it's failing on several of the new 
TLDs. 

Does anyone know if there is a patch for this or something?

Thanks

Re: What does "+no+post+sending+forms+are+found" do?

[JR]

I think this might be from XRumer, a forum/blog spam program. Someone
posted about the same message a few months ago.
