For some reason I didn't think about this until now, but I'm relatively sure that there is a patch on the Flying Saucer site that made it work at least with Railo's built in iText version, perhaps CF's as well. I'm pretty sure that these jars: http://subversion.assembla.com/svn/cfmlprojects/trunk/src/cffspdf/lib/ Have that patch compiled in. Might want to give it a spin, see if it negates the need of the custom classloader. FWIW, if any of you are running Railo, this project is available as an Extension, installable from the Railo Admin. :Den -- The most common lie is that which one lies to himself; lying to others is relatively an exception.

Sure, there's lots of cases where all you want is a quick and dirty PDF, but if you're going through all this effort... and the reports can be served as HTML... ;) But if you really must have a decent cfdocument replacement, there's always flying saucer (https://xhtmlrenderer.dev.java.net/). I've got a custom tag for that, which probably works for ACF too (I've only used it in Railo). Really though, JasperReports is sweet for a lot of other reasons. You can export the hell out of those reports. PowerPoint y todo. And with jasperreports, writing the report XML by hand is totally doable, which I don't recall as being doable with cfreport (I could be wrong tho). Anyways, Flying Saucer is nice because you can control a lot of stuff with special CSS. :Den -- The Christian resolution to find the world ugly and bad has made the world ugly and bad.

I humbly disagree. CFDOCUMENT is for producing documents...not web pages. This is why you can define headers/footers, have page X of Y in footers, and make section headings span pages. Well OK...it is SUPPOSED to do these things...it often doesn't work as advertised. It just so happens that you can convert HTML to PDFs using it. The doc could be just text... It is based on the iText package which can do all the above and tonnes morebut it sucks to work with in CF...trust me...built and laid out 40 page dynamic doc using calls to the iText Java package pre-CFDOCUMENT being introduced...not fun at all.

RE: cfdocument text cuts off at page break
I agree, CFDOCUMENT is sorely lacking, its one thing after another that does not work correctly with CFDOCUMENT. We've had to manually track the number of table rows and programmatically end the table and insert a page break to work around this issue. But I guess if you had variable length/height text that would not be possible.
