It isn't a Windows thing specifically, but was the norm for many moons before other OS systems were developed. If you try to send just a CR to a teletype (just saying), it will print every printed line over the top of the last. I have direct experience in doing that. :) -- LinkedIn: http://www.linkedin.com/pub/8/a4/60 Twitter: http://twitter.com/RogerTheGeek MissHunt: http://www.misshunt.com/ (Home of the Clean/Dirty Magnet) NCDevCon: http://ncdevcon.com/ 2010 Raleigh ColdFusion Conference ~| Order the Adobe Coldfusion Anthology now! http://www.amazon.com/Adobe-Coldfusion-Anthology-Michael-Dinowitz/dp/1430272155/?tag=houseoffusion Archive: http://www.houseoffusion.com/groups/cf-talk/message.cfm/messageid:334226 Subscription: http://www.houseoffusion.com/groups/cf-talk/subscribe.cfm Unsubscribe: http://www.houseoffusion.com/groups/cf-talk/unsubscribe.cfm
RE: PDF multi-line input
AH HA! Found it. replace(FORM.Customer_Name, Chr(13) & Chr(10), chr(13), "ALL") Apprently chr(13) & chr(10) represents a "Windows newline". Looks like this works. I will keep testing.

PDF multi-line input
I have a PDF with a text field that is Multi-Line. You can type into it and use carriage return to write paragraphs of text. So I type in it and use a carriage return. Submit the form to a CFQuery and insert the data into a varchar field. I use CFPDF and CFPDFformparam to take the field from the database and put it back into the PDF form. Everything looks fine. Submit the form again to a CFQuery and update the database. When I go to view the PDF again with the data I have two carriage returns instead of just one. If I keep updating the database I keep getting even more carriage returns. They almost seem to double with each update. How can I prevent this? Do I need to search for LF and replace with CR? Or something similar? I tried this on the update query and it does not help. #replace(FORM.Contact_Name, chr(10), chr(13))# Thanks, Chad ~| Order the Adobe Coldfusion Anthology now! http://www.amazon.com/Adobe-Coldfusion-Anthology-Michael-Dinowitz/dp/1430272155/?tag=houseoffusion Archive: http://www.houseoffusion.com/groups/cf-talk/message.cfm/messageid:334182 Subscription: http://www.houseoffusion.com/groups/cf-talk/subscribe.cfm Unsubscribe: http://www.houseoffusion.com/groups/cf-talk/unsubscribe.cfm
