My recommendation is that you make the PDF into a form, and make the fields read-only with no decorative elements. Then, you can easily inject the values you want using CFPDFFORM, etc. This is a very common approach to this problem. If you have an existing PDF that's not a form, simply import it into LiveCycle Designer as "background art" using the "fixed pages" option. Then, draw out whatever form fields you need, remove their captions and any other visual elements, and set them to read-only.

Re: PDF Generation
Yes the problem is this pdf has lines, and sections and bar codes and bunch of other static stuff, which I can easily handle in pdf template but will become pain if I do in html. I am currently using this with ActivePDF but that where I am designing and drawing it line by line. Its now have very easy chances, but if client add more sections that will become very complicate. So, I want to see if I can have in design view just drop variables and when new changes comes in, it will be easy to modify the template.

I am not creating forms. I have pdf which needs to feed the variables like Company Name: *ABC company* I need to put the company_name variable where ABC printed.

Re: PDF generation 4x slower in CF8?
No one else encountered this? Really?
The solution I came up with was to send PDF processing to another server
running CF7. That server processes the CFDocument tag and sends back the file.
Here's the custom tag I came up with to hand off and receive the data.
// Constants
null = ""; dot = ".";
slash = "/";
backslash = "\";semicolon = ";";
dash = "-";
star = "*"; space = " ";
all = "all";
one = "one";comma = ",";
tab = chr(9);
newline = chr(13); newline2 = chr(10);
amp = "&";
// Parameter collection and processing
universalParameters = "
document
, timeout
, tempFolder
, server
";
// Remove newlines, spaces and tab characters
universalParameters = REReplace(universalParameters,
"[\s]", null, all);
// Populate variables with null
for(i = 1; i LTE ListLen(universalParameters); i = i +
1) {
if(NOT StructKeyExists(attributes,
ListGetAt(universalParameters, i))) {
StructInsert(attributes,
ListGetAt(universalParameters, i), null);
}
}
// General error checking
errorMessage = null;
if(attributes.document IS null) {
errorMessage = "Document to generate not
specified";
}
if(attributes.timeout IS null OR NOT
IsNumeric(attributes.timeout)) {
attributes.timeout = 60;
}
if(attributes.tempFolder IS null AND
IsDefined("caller.email_attach_path")) {
attributes.tempFolder =
caller.email_attach_path;
}
if(NOT DirectoryExists(attributes.tempFolder)) {
errorMessage = "Temporary folder not
accessible";
}
if(attributes.server IS null) {
errorMessage = "Other server not specified";
}

Ben... If you're using MX7, cfd should be able to make a PDF from any web page. Have you placed a style around the text you want justified and gone that route?

RE: PDF generation
I've put activepdf under pretty good stress on windows. In my opinion, it's not the best tool for batch processing, but is excellent for "on the fly" pdf generation and for very dynamic page generation (it integrates very well with other COM Objects). Unlike some of the other servers I wrote test code for, activepdf did an excellent job queing requests without bombing out. ~Simon > Simon Horwith > Allaire Certified Instructor > Certified ColdFusion Developer > Fig Leaf Software > 1400 16th St NW, # 220 > Washington DC 20036 > 202.797.6570 (direct line) > www.figleaf.com > -Original Message- From: Stephen M Aylor [mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED]] Sent: Thursday, February 15, 2001 1:29 PM To: CF-Talk Subject: Re: PDF generation Anyone hear put ActivePDF under that kind of stress?

RE: PDF generation
Take a look at www.amyuni.com/pdfpd.htm -- I just used it to generate 2,500 PDF files at about 1/second.

RE: PDF generation
If you go to www.ininet.com there should be some presentation materials (and sample code) on this topic from a presentation Neil Giarratana gave at CFSOUTH. I haven't tried it, so I can't comment on the robustness of it, but glancing through the powerpoints it looked pretty slick.
