CF11 cannot validate default PDF Service Manager
Not sure where to look with this one, would appreciate any thoughts: Am using a freshly installed CF11 Enterprise box and cannot generate PDFs. Simple tests with cfdocument led to my finding that in the CF admin I cannot validate the default PDF Service Manager. Settings look the same as a different machine that validates as expected. On the bad box the validate request just runs on and on, never seems to time out, though all other CF features seems to be working fine. Logs show nothing of interest. Would appreciate any thoughts, tia. ~| Order the Adobe Coldfusion Anthology now! http://www.amazon.com/Adobe-Coldfusion-Anthology/dp/1430272155/?tag=houseoffusion Archive: http://www.houseoffusion.com/groups/cf-talk/message.cfm/messageid:360229 Subscription: http://www.houseoffusion.com/groups/cf-talk/subscribe.cfm Unsubscribe: http://www.houseoffusion.com/groups/cf-talk/unsubscribe.cfm

Determine if PDF previously flattened
We have a process where some PDFs are flattened and some are not. They'll be flattened later. We use cfpdf for this. Is there a test that we can do to determine if a PDF has been flattened already? Currently we're trying to insert a watermark and if it fails, we suspect it's been flattened. However, I'd like a real test, like a function call that can determine it. All my searches for "flatten" or "flattened" right now bring back links to "how to flatten" or "was is flattening". Anyone know of a way to tell, outside of using failure as a tool? ~| Order the Adobe Coldfusion Anthology now! http://www.amazon.com/Adobe-Coldfusion-Anthology/dp/1430272155/?tag=houseoffusion Archive: http://www.houseoffusion.com/groups/cf-talk/message.cfm/messageid:360191 Subscription: http://www.houseoffusion.com/groups/cf-talk/subscribe.cfm Unsubscribe: http://www.houseoffusion.com/groups/cf-talk/unsubscribe.cfm

Embedding files in a PDF
Be grateful for a little advice or confirmation please. Putting together a little award nomination system. User submits the nomination via a web form and attaches any supporting documents to the nomination. I then need to produce a PDF of the nomination which in itself is not an issue e.g. cfdocument. However, I was looking for a way to embed the submitted documents in the PDF version of the nomination. While embedding other (types of) files is supported in Acrobat there appears to be no way to do this via CF be it cfdocument or even cfpdf (platform is CF8) - is my summation correct.

I think the best way to go about this is to use LiveCycle form scripting to build dynamic forms, then have them load a data set at runtime. The data set could be served by CF, but you wouldn't use CF to actually build the form or populate it. For example, the form could load data from a web service call. Dynamic forms can have repeating subforms. For example, you could have a table which would have one row per record in your data set. The user would open the form, but it could load the data before it renders on screen, then render itself with the appropriate number of rows in the table. http://blogs.adobe.com/LiveCycleHelp/2012/09/livecycle-designer-and-accessibility.html Dave Watts, CTO, Fig Leaf Software 1-202-527-9569 http://www.figleaf.com/ http://training.figleaf.com/ Fig Leaf Software is a Veteran-Owned Small Business (VOSB) on GSA Schedule, and provides the highest caliber vendor-authorized instruction at our training centers, online, or onsite. ~| Order the Adobe Coldfusion Anthology now! http://www.amazon.com/Adobe-Coldfusion-Anthology/dp/1430272155/?tag=houseoffusion Archive: http://www.houseoffusion.com/groups/cf-talk/message.cfm/messageid:358889 Subscription: http://www.houseoffusion.com/groups/cf-talk/subscribe.cfm Unsubscribe: http://www.houseoffusion.com/groups/cf-talk/unsubscribe.cfm

Re: Creating Grayscale PDF with CFDocument in CF8?
In a word, no, unless you wanted to convert the PDF to an image, greyscale it, and then convert it back to a PDF - losing all of your text selection in the process. My suggestion would also be the stylesheet solution. If you use SASS (http://sass-lang.com/ ) you can declare your color variables in the master template and then just let sass automatically generate two different stylesheets with different colors: color stylesheet $table_border: navy; @import includes/base_styles.scss; greyscale stylesheet $table_border: #99; @import includes/base_styles.scss; On Jan 31, 2014, at 12:57 PM, Dave Hatz wrote: > > Anyone know how to create a PDF document in grayscale?

Advice about merging into certificates and outputting to pdf
Hi All, First, happy thanksgiving to everyone (who is celebrating that holiday). Second, a quick question. We're developing a basic certificates feature in our event tool. The idea is that you register for an event, attend the event, and then get a certificate (most likely pdf) for the event. In creating the certificate, we have been provided with some word document templates. My expectation is that the output would need to be in PDF format. We will need to merge in the name of the person attending as well as the date and perhaps a few other fields. We have done some template merging and output to pdfs using CF Report Builder in the past so I was thinking about that. However, given CF's built in PDF tools, I'm assuming there are good ways to build this feature without CF Report Builder. If any of you have been down this road and have suggestions, I'm definitely interested. I know that there is a lot out there on PDF features (I have the WACKs), but am looking for some guidance on a best practice for this kind of feature. Thanks in advance!

If Reader is your default PDF viewer, and you use the Preview PDF tab in LC Designer, you'll get that message. You need to open it in Acrobat and enable Reader Extensions.

If this document was originally created in Acrobat, and you open it in Reader, you will see this message by default. If you want Reader users to save data, you'll need to use Reader Extensions to Reader-enable the form. You can do this from within Acrobat (not LC Designer).

PDF Issue
I'm using CFDOCUMENT to create a PDF for download. I have a style sheet built into the page that sets the font at XX pts. It works perfectly, except when the content contains an image that's large than the page width. The image does resize to fit on the page, but it also shrink everything else (like the fonts). I've tried everything I can think of to get the image to resize to the page width without actually shrinking the page, but the who page get shrunk every time. Any ideas?

Raghu, I had this same issue and ended going to a third party tool to generate PDFs. If I remember correctly this problem deep and must be fixed by Adobe. Same with ability to justify text.

Re: CFDOCUMENT PDF
>>Is there anything I can do to fix this problem Not that I am aware of. We make heavy use of PDFs and the only viable options I have encountered are to: 1) use cfpdfform to fill out PDFs 2) or to roll your own PDF's with iText or use one of the CF libraries that use IText like cfitext or pdfIT 3) or to use the OpenOffice Word/Excel to PDF Conversion CFC. I did a lot of R&D and experimentation with all of these and found the best route (for us at least) to be manipulating MS Word docs and converting them to PDFs. My experience was that manipulating/creating PDFs with code a la iText can be very tedious and time consuming for intricate and/or heavily formatted documents. http://pdfit.riaforge.org/ http://cfitext.riaforge.org/ http://oolib.riaforge.org/ HTH G!

UTF-8 encoding when writing to a PDF
I am totally stuck on this one. I am using an old Ben Forta tag cf_pdfform.
Im 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?

Re: Streaming PDF in CF8 / Performance Issues

Re: Streaming PDF in CF8 / Performance Issues
You could maybe try reading the pdf as a binary with cffile into a variable and outputting it that way with Could be cfcontent is opening the file and not closing all the way or something.

Re: Streaming PDF in CF8 / Performance Issues
Jeff,
I've read there are issues with file/directory operations in CF when files
are really large or the directory contains TONS of files. You might try a
java alternative. I'm mobile right now, but I think it's something like
this:
createObject("java", "java.io.File").init( filePath & fileName ).exists();

Streaming PDF in CF8 / Performance Issues
I am doing some performance test on a site running on ColdFusion 8 using FusionReactor. There is one script that consistently ends up on the top of the long running requests list. The script is very simple - it grabs a PDF file that already exists on the files system and streams it to the user. We're sorry, but the page you have requested no longer exists on our site. The PDF files in question are pretty small ... 1 to 2 MB. In some cases (but not all), the request logs in FusionReactor are showing this script running for 200+ seconds.

That is not because of either OpenOffice or ColdFusion, but because Office type of documents tend to be of very poor quality. I have done one project in particular for one of the Big Four where we basically pointed LiveCycle PDF Generator + MS Office + OpenOffice at a network drive with 12 years of documents to convert \and the things we ran into were: - password protection; - missing fonts; - no print permissions; - incorrect print ranges; - wrong paper format; - missing linked documents; - Office apps hanging on various dialogues (updates, missing references files, macros etc.). I believe the project ended up sending a significant part to India for manual conversion. But if you are dealing with current documents it is a whole different ballgame. Take a CMS like Razuna or Alfresco and configure / program it to run an automated PDF conversion for every document that is being saved. All errors get returned to the person who uploaded the document and people will learn fast. Fix the permissions so that only the owner can download the source format and the rest has to use the PDF file and you have turned the rest of the users into a large QA group.

PDF merge
We are getting an error with a pdf merge using cfx_pdf (java custom tag) on CF7 (The error states that an array is out of bounds).

Re: PDF maker tag
Jim, You can buy a PDF creation custom tag for CF5, that I think was called CFX_PDF, although it has been a while since I last saw that. With CF5 I have also used the commercial ActivePDF Toolkit COM object. There was a popular free HTML to PDF converter that I used with CF back in the CF5 days, that had some generic name like HTMLtoPDF, although these days I might first look to the open source library that powers the modern cfdocument tag in CF9 called iText. Or you could upgrade to CF9. -Mike Chabot On Mon, Dec 5, 2011 at 8:54 AM, Jim Mixon wrote: > > Can anyone point me to a tag or whatever that I can use with CF5 to create > .pdf's on the fly? > > Does one exist for CF5? > > thanks a mill! > > jim ~| Order the Adobe Coldfusion Anthology now! http://www.amazon.com/Adobe-Coldfusion-Anthology/dp/1430272155/?tag=houseoffusion Archive: http://www.houseoffusion.com/groups/cf-talk/message.cfm/messageid:348957 Subscription: http://www.houseoffusion.com/groups/cf-talk/subscribe.cfm Unsubscribe: http://www.houseoffusion.com/groups/cf-talk/unsubscribe.cfm

Re: word doc to PDF
What versions of Office do you have to support? If you can get away with only supporting Open XML doc files, you'll be able to do a lot more. They are zip files of xml docs and resources and MS has an SDK for working with them. You can convert them into a number of formats through XSLT and other options. If you have to support older, binary, DOC versions then you'll need to look at the various commercial options like ActivePDF and some of the non-commercial options like OpenOffice.

Re: word doc to PDF
I am assuming this is something you need to have on your Web server, which I believe would rule out Adobe Acrobat Pro. ActivePDF makes some good server PDF tools that I have used in the past with great success. I would recommend that or installing OpenOffice. I personally install OpenOffice on servers without any notable reservations. PrimoPDF is another big name in this space, although I don't know much about their enterprise server products. -Mike Chabot On Tue, Nov 8, 2011 at 1:53 PM, Russ Michaels wrote: > > anyone got any recommendations for DOC to PDF conversion ? > CFDOCUMENT requires OpenOffice to be on the server, which I don't > really want to do, so looking for an alternative. > > -- > -- > > Snake ~| Order the Adobe Coldfusion Anthology now! http://www.amazon.com/Adobe-Coldfusion-Anthology/dp/1430272155/?tag=houseoffusion Archive: http://www.houseoffusion.com/groups/cf-talk/message.cfm/messageid:348527 Subscription: http://www.houseoffusion.com/groups/cf-talk/subscribe.cfm Unsubscribe: http://www.houseoffusion.com/groups/cf-talk/unsubscribe.cfm
