RE: CFDOCUMENT creating a PDF - ARGH!

2007-12-19 Thread Peterson, Chris
Les,

By specifying a name and a filename I'm not sure what that is doing...
name assigns the resulting PDF file to a variable, and filename writes
it to a file...  do exactly what I had in my example (cfdocument
format=pdf filename=c:\test.pdf) and write that to a file - still
nothing?

cfdocument name=test.pdf

  fontembed=yes


Generates a blank page...

Remove the cfdoc tag surrounding everything - perfect.

I've got maybe two or three hairs left. Anybody want to have a go at
them???

Are you using overflow: auto in your CSS anywhere? Rupesh Kumar found some
bugs in cfdocument when overflow was set to auto:

Subject: CFDOCUMENT creating a PDF - ARGH!

I'm trying to use CFDOCUMENT (CF 7 with updates) to create PDF files for a
client.

If I remove the CFDOCUMENT tags surrounding my code, the page renders fine.
Put the CFDOCUMENT back in and the page falls apart - CSS is ignored.

So, I've got something wrong somewhere. Is the basic format for creating a
PDF page below correct? Is the problem the way the CSS file is referenced?
How else should I try to do that?

Les,

Put the CSS include inside of the CFDOCUMENT tags, and then it will
reference the CSS.

Sorry, I haven't been keeping up with this entire thread, but I noticed
your post below.  Beware that IE (at least) will cache the mime type on
successive refreshes of a page.  If it gets a pdf one time, it expects
it the next time as well etc...

Re: CFDOCUMENT creating a PDF - ARGH!

2007-12-18 Thread Mike Kear
I have a site where i'm using CFDOCUMENT To create PDFs too.  I find i
get gibberish if i refresh teh page to see what the PDF looks like
after i've tinkered with the code a bit.   But if i refresh a second
time it renders ok.

Any user seeing hte page sees it fine because they're not refreshing
the page with some changes.

I'm not sure it's anything you can eiher control or need to worry
about.  I fretted about it a lot on my site before i realised that it
doesnt really happen in a real world situation.

Not sure if that helps you.   does it?

Generates a blank page...

Remove the cfdoc tag surrounding everything - perfect.

I've got maybe two or three hairs left. Anybody want to have a go at them???

Les,

I am getting the same results with your Divs.  Works fine with no
cfdocument, and then nothing with... I would look at those divs and work
them in one by one to find the one that is causing the problem..  Hopefully
someone will see this and add it as a bug to cfdocument.

Rob

I can delete *everything* except the image and it still is giving a 
blank page.

Oh boy
