Re: cfdocument + iText
I would like to see some type of form implementation, as well as the possibility of different output types (ie png, Tiff, etc) By form, I mean some way to take a template image / document and overlay structured text on top of it at specific locations (ie mass produced invoices, statements, etc). I ended up writing my own using iText directly to output to Tiff's. Maybe someone can correct me if I'm missing a current feature that could do it, but I didn't see one =) Chris Peterson -Original Message- From: Jerry Johnson [mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED] Sent: Thursday, July 20, 2006 2:52 PM To: CF-Talk Subject: Re: cfdocument + iText multi-columns!!!

Re: cfdocument + iText
couldn't you do some type of floating div tag with the image in that?

Re: cfdocument + iText
Hi Jose, Though the watermark capability is not there in cfdocument, it should be doable using background images of the html. I understand it is easily said than done as you will have to size your images carefully so that they come properly and only once on all the pages. We will try to have it in the scorpio release. Any other itext feature that you think are missing and should be there in cfdocument?

Re: cfdocument + iText
By form, I mean some way to take a template image / document and overlay structured text on top of it at specific locations (ie mass produced invoices, statements, etc). I think that would be simple with CFDOCUMENTwrite a template CFM page with variable place holders for the structured texttehn output and procude the PDFs. or have I completely missed your point? I ended up writing my own using iText directly to output to Tiff's.

Does anyone know why the options within the cfdocument tag had been restricted not to use all the iText functionality. as far as i know, none are restricted. ~| Introducing the Fusion Authority Quarterly Update. 80 pages of hard-hitting, up-to-date ColdFusion information by your peers, delivered to your door four times a year. http://www.fusionauthority.com/quarterly Archive: http://www.houseoffusion.com/cf_lists/message.cfm/forumid:4/messageid:246938 Subscription: http://www.houseoffusion.com/lists.cfm/link=s:4 Unsubscribe: http://www.houseoffusion.com/cf_lists/unsubscribe.cfm?user=89.70.4
