RE: Sending Faxes through Cold Fusion
I'd be careful with HTMLDoc, it doesn't support shrink to fit, it also doesn't compensate for IE's tendency to print off the right side of the page. This is a pretty well known bug, and they had no knowledge of it. Since generating PDF's is essentially a print process, the bug falls over into the generated PDF.

I had to abandon HTMLDoc because of this. Actually, all document formats used in the application I mentioned are fixed-width and are not problematic. It's good you pointed this out, though, because it took some experimenting to get the formatting right because of the page cut-offs in some cases. Different documents in this case require different margins and formatting. One thing I absolutely hate about htmldoc is it's lack of support for CSS. It's quite a mature product in that it's been around for quite some time and it's generally fast (as long as you don't generate a thousand-page pdf file!), so it's still useful in certain situations for us. Now, I definitely wouldn't use it in an environment where it was under any sort of significant load, but that's just based on my experience with it. In that case I'd probably go with ActivePDF products (server and webgrabber) for HTML to PDF conversion. Andy ~| Logware (www.logware.us): a new and convenient web-based time tracking application.

RE: Sending Faxes through Cold Fusion (SOFTphone/VoIP ? )
I haven't tried, but hoping someone here can confirm this will work. Can I install Fax software, a softphone and use VoIP (w/outbound gateway) to deliver faxes? Recommendations? I do have a need for this application for a project.

Re: Sending Faxes through Cold Fusion (SOFTphone/VoIP ? )
I was able to send faxes from Cf using Protofax software very easily. http://www.protonet.com/ . The company I was working with chose this one because they had CF tags available. I found that Protofax's features (such as recieving an incoming fax from a queue directory, or an e-mail box, etc..) were available in many fax programs and the custom tag code was trivial. We ended up not even using it.

Re: Sending Faxes through Cold Fusion
If you grab an fax service where you can fax by sending an email you just create an email and send it to the fax #'s email addy. eFax I know does this.

Re: Sending Faxes through Cold Fusion
Combine the ability for CF to generate PDF files and email them with a fax server that watches an email folder and sends faxes from the attcahments. Check out Black Ice for a simple example. http://www.blackice.com/Fax%20Server/Email%20Faxing%20Client.htm On 11/9/05, Stephen Cassady [EMAIL PROTECTED] wrote: Hey all - I have a situation where I need to replace a current application (a web system that runs .exe for each requested page!) with CF.
