Cfdocument - CF8 hotfix expected?

Ok, so I understand that Adobe has installed some type of fix
on thier systems to rectify the problems of scaling with the
<cfdocument> tag. A poster from Adobe sent a response to me
that he couldn't see the problems I was having becuase he had the
"fix" installed about this topic a month ago.
Does anybody know when this "fix" will be available to the
rest of us CF8 users? We had a massive emergency redesign from
absolute positioning to relative positioning when the bugs reared
their ugly heads on our upgrade from CF7 to CF8. I would like to
get to the point of creating the pages properly as opposed to
having to continually build in work-arounds for the current bugs
(just to have to go back and re-design when [or if] it does get
fixed).

Bob,
That was a bug we worked with Adobe on last summer. I don't recall all of the issues surrounding it. But, I found this description in one of my emails about what engineering found when they evaluated our issue:
1. If a cfm creates a cfc and that cfc is kept in a long lasting scope like application/session, the entire object tree for the cfm request including the variables created in the cfm stays in the memory.
2. If a cfc 'A' creates another cfc 'B' in a function, and 'B' is kept in a long lasting scope like application/session, A's data gets stuck in the memory. The reason is A's functionLocalScope gets added to the 'B' pageContext and is never removed. B keeps holding all the function local scope objects that was created in that function in A.

CF8* hotfixes on 64 bit Windows server

Hello,
We have a Windows 2080 64 bit server running IIS7. I would like to install the pertinent hotfixes I found on the Adobe site but have some questions. Some of the hotfixes require .jar & .ear files to be imported via CF admin. The hotfixes do not give any information about 64-bit. Are there seperate 64-bit .jar & .ear files? Can the .jar & .ear files in the hotfixes be used on 64-bit machines?
Thanks in advance.
joe

The 64 bit functionality starts from Update 1 of Coldfusion 8, that is, from version 8.0.1. I would therefore expect CF801 and hotfixes to CF801 to be 64 bit.

CFDocument CF8 super slow~unless I remove dynamic image

Upgraded from CF7 to CF8.01 and all the hotfixes. Since the
upgrade, dynamic .pdfs are super slow. I commented out an image,
and now it loads faster. What changed in CF8.01 to cause problems
with including dynamic images in .pdfs? How do I get around this
and still use images? Here's my code..
<img src="file://///xxxDocServer/HiRes
Photos#Biography.File_Path#" width="119" height="153" />
I'm open to trying anything to speed this up.. Just don't
want to have to rollback to CF7.

Make sure your image is in sRGB colorspace.

CF8 cfdocuments new bugs (font size, bold, underline...)

Hi
I face the following problems after upgrading from CF 7.0.2
to CF8 + Cumulative Hotfix 1 :
- bold and underline generates white space around them if
they are embedded in a sentence (i.e "this is <bold>bold text
</bod> and it is fun")
- font size behavior has changed, the text is now bigger. (My
font-size: 12px is bigger than before)
- when reducing it (i.e font-size: 11px) the bold/underline
problem becomes the opposite : instead of white space, I have
overlapping texts.
We use a html 4.01 transitional doctype and CSS styles (i.e
div class="myclass" and .myclass{..} in a separate css file)
Any suggestion ?

the cf8 cfdocument cumulative hotfix has been updated on Jan
30 2008 -
have you re-installed it?

CF8 CFGRID not populating

Hi,
I am using a cfgrid to display a list of pending orders. It
was all working until I modified the query to include some
additional information.
Here is the query that works:
SELECT o.orderid,DATE_FORMAT(o.orderdate,'%d/%m/%Y') as
odate,CAST(o.ordertotal AS CHAR) as
ordertotal,c.firstname,c.lastname, (SELECT CASE pt.producttype WHEN
'POM' THEN 'Required' END AS IsPOM
FROM ordercontents oc, products p, producttype pt
WHERE oc.productid = p.productid
AND p.prodtypeid = pt.prodtypeid
AND o.orderid = oc.orderid
ORDER BY IsPOM DESC LIMIT 1) as IsPOM, (SELECT
GROUP_CONCAT(prd.shortname ORDER BY prd.shortname SEPARATOR ' | ')
FROM products prd,ordercontents oco
WHERE oco.productid = prd.productid
AND o.orderid = oco.orderid) as ordereditems
FROM orders o, customer c
WHERE o.customerid = c.customerid
AND o.statusid = 1
ORDER BY o.orderdate DESC
and here is the query that works but doesn't populate the
cfgrid:
SELECT o.orderid,DATE_FORMAT(o.orderdate,'%d/%m/%Y') as
odate,CAST(o.ordertotal AS CHAR) as
ordertotal,c.firstname,c.lastname, (SELECT CASE pt.producttype WHEN
'POM' THEN 'Required' END AS IsPOM
FROM ordercontents oc, products p, producttype pt
WHERE oc.productid = p.productid
AND p.prodtypeid = pt.prodtypeid
AND o.orderid = oc.orderid
ORDER BY IsPOM DESC
LIMIT 1) as IsPOM, (SELECT
GROUP_CONCAT(CONCAT(prd.shortname,' x ',oco.quantity) ORDER BY
prd.shortname SEPARATOR ' | ')
FROM products prd,ordercontents oco
WHERE oco.productid = prd.productid
AND o.orderid = oco.orderid) as ordereditems
FROM orders o, customer c
WHERE o.customerid = c.customerid
AND o.statusid = 1
ORDER BY o.orderdate DESC
This is the bit that seems to break the cfgrid:
GROUP_CONCAT(CONCAT(prd.shortname,' x ',oco.quantity) ORDER
BY prd.shortname SEPARATOR ' | ')
whereas this works:
GROUP_CONCAT(prd.shortname ORDER BY prd.shortname SEPARATOR '
| ')
notice the addition of the ,' x ', oco.quantity in the query
that doesn't work.
The text that this GROUP_CONCAT spits out is like this:
product1 x 2 | product2 x 42
If I run both versions of the query in the RDS query viewer I
get results showing the correct information. The cfgrid however
only populates from the query above.
The cfdebug shows no errors and shows that both queries
return the same number of records. But the broken version does seem
to get stuck at the ordereditems value which should be just a
string (see above) from cfgrid's point of view.
By the way, I am using MySQL 5 with the built in MySQL driver
for CF8 (hotfix 2).
Cheers,
Dave

Just for info. I fixed it by using CAST to force it to a CHAR
datatype:
CAST((SELECT GROUP_CONCAT(CONCAT(prd.shortname,' x
',oco.quantity) ORDER BY prd.shortname SEPARATOR ' | ')
FROM products prd,ordercontents oco
WHERE oco.productid = prd.productid
AND o.orderid = oco.orderid) as CHAR) as ordereditems
Cheers,
Dave

CFFILE problems

I just launched a new site and am finding that some users are
having problems uploading photos to their profile, while others are
not. I never had a problem with any files I used for testing
purposes, but one user emailed me the photo she was trying to
upload and I got an error during the delete section of my code
(different from hers during upload). This is the error she got:
"An exception occured while trying to write the image.
Ensure that the destination directory exists and that
Coldfusion has permission to write to the given path or file. cause
: coldfusion.image.ImageWriter$ImageWritingException: An exception
occured while trying to write the image."
And this is the error I'm getting with her image (not any of
the ones I've used in the past or created using my digital camera):
"ColdFusion could not delete the file
e:\web\myssage.com\photos\A.jpg for an unknown reason."
The images that are working and not working are both jpegs
that can be easily viewed in a browser. Any ideas? I've created a
test account if anyone wants to try and duplicate the problem.

My first CF site, any help is greatly appreciated!

make sure you have all cfimage hotfixes installed on your
server - there
were a couple of those, one in particular dealing with file
locking issue.

Cfdocument printing issues: cf7 vs cf8

Here's what happens when I create a pdf with
<cfdocument> on CF7 vs CF8:
CF7
The generated pdf is 16 pages and 87.6 KB. When I print the
pdf the progress bar in acrobat fills up immediately. The total
size in the print spooler is 1.18MB
CF8
The generated pdf is 16 pages and 622 KB. When I print the
pdf the progress bar in acrobat takes almost 3 minutes to get to
100%. The total size in the print spooler is a whopping 75.5MB
I am using fontembed="false", but that seems to have no
effect on the actual filesize either. Also, on the CF8 document I
can click all over the place and get these 1/2" x 1/2" blue cubes
that show up. They are exactly like the ones you get if you click
on an image, only they are in random areas all over the place. One
other thing, when I save the CF8 pdf, there is a progress bar in
the lower right that says "optimized for fast web viewing". It
doesn't do that for CF7.
What is going on here, and what can be done? Users are not
able to print anything out in a timely fashion. Thanks.
EDIT:
If I don't import my 3KB css file, the pdf behaves like it
does in CF7, minus the formatting of course

There was a background image in the css that was causing the
issue, but it was only a problem when using @import to get the css,
and only in CF8.

CF7 cfdocument's display 30% smaller on CF8

We have copied existing CF7 cfdocument' page to a new
Coldfusion 8 server and when the pages are run the resulting pdf
and flashpaper display 30% smaller on CF8.
Both the Fonts and the images and the tables are all scaled
down by about 30% in size. We have a lot of these documents so, we
not be able to upgrade, its a real show stopper. Its like the
effective display area has been scaled fit into about 70% of the
page area.
I have searched for a people reporting the same issues but
found no one reporting this. Has anyone seen this and is there a
fix

CF8 cfdocument tag has a few new bugs

This discusses two new bugs in CF8 having to do with footers
in cfdocument.
***FIRST BUG***
With CFMX7, I could define a new footer by putting a new
<cfdocumentitem type="footer"> tag in each cfdocumentsection
of my pdf report. Each could have a different string, e.g., so that
the footer could tell the reader which chapter she is reading. This
does not work in CF8. The chapter name that appears on all pages is
the one defined in the last <cfdocumentitem type="footer">
tag in the cfdocument. Now only the page number changes
dynamically. Sample code:
<cfdocument format="pdf" unit="in" pagetype="letter"
marginbottom="0.8" marginleft="1" marginright="1"
margintop="0.8"
orientation="portrait" fontembed="yes" overwrite="yes"
filename="pdfbugdemo2.pdf" pageheight="11" pagewidth="8.5"
scale="100">
<cfdocumentsection>
<cfset footerContent="1. Introduction">
<cfdocumentitem type="footer">
<div style="float: left;">
<cfoutput>#footerContent#</cfoutput>
</div>
<div style="float: right;">
<cfoutput>#cfdocument.currentpagenumber#</cfoutput>
</div>
</cfdocumentitem>
<h1>Introduction</h1>
</cfdocumentsection>
<cfdocumentsection>
<cfset footerContent="2. Body of Document">
<cfdocumentitem type="footer">
<div style="float: left;">
<cfoutput>#footerContent#</cfoutput>
</div>
<div style="float: right;">
<cfoutput>#cfdocument.currentpagenumber#</cfoutput>
</div>
</cfdocumentitem>
<h1>Body of Document</h1>
</cfdocumentsection>
</cfdocument>
*** SECOND BUG ***
In CF8, you cannot cfinclude the same template multiple times
in a given template - you get an error (at least sometimes). A
workaround is to make multiple copies of the template, each with a
different name. This was not necessary in CFMX7. Sample code:
<cfdocument format="pdf" unit="in" pagetype="letter"
marginbottom="0.8" marginleft="1" marginright="1"
margintop="0.8"
orientation="portrait" fontembed="yes" overwrite="yes"
filename="pdfbugdemo2.pdf" pageheight="11" pagewidth="8.5"
scale="100">
<cfdocumentsection>
<cfset footerContent="1. Introduction">
<cfinclude template="pdfbugfooter.cfm">
<h1>Introduction</h1>
</cfdocumentsection>
<cfdocumentsection>
<cfset footerContent="2. Body of Document">
<cfinclude template="pdfbugfooter.cfm">
<h1>Body of Document</h1>
</cfdocumentsection>
</cfdocument>
where pdfbugfooter.cfm is:
<cfdocumentitem type="footer">
<div style="float: left;">
<cfoutput>#footerContent#</cfoutput>
</div>
<div style="float: right;">
<cfoutput>#cfdocument.currentpagenumber#</cfoutput>
</div>
</cfdocumentitem>

re: If you claim didn't say that,
No "if" about it - I made no such claim and never would -
thats just you
talking gibberish. Who in their right mind would say, or even
suggest, that
forums are not helpful. The only reason a forum exists in the
first place is
to be helpful!
re: So what was your actual intention in the first place?
Not sure you would undertsand, you seem to struggle to follow
along. But
just a hint for you - the forum posts, or quantity thereof,
have been used
by several people here, and by editors at sites such as
sitepoint.com, as a
metric to use to gague interest and activity. A metric only
useful when
taken in context with other pointers (job market, book
market, number of
classes still running, so on and so forth)
Again, nobody has ever said forums are not useful or helpful
- I suspect you
knew that much but felt the need to throw some nonsense about
in an attempt
at an argument - failed didn't it?
RE: Maybe they realized Ben Forta writes such a good books,
they felt
ashamed? :-)
The O'Reilly audience is typically seasoned developers, hard
core coders.
Their books are a tough read for beginners and O'Reilly
delibertately do not
cater to this audeince with many of their titles. And to put
it bluntly, the
main bunch of people to ditch CF early on were these "hard
core" types. I
belive this as the only CF developers I know are actually
more "designers"
than developers - I know of no professional coder/developers
that would
touch CF. Thats just my personal observation, btw.
re: From what I read, people are telling I'm right.
Are you crazy? They are all, at least 95%, in agreemenst that
Tim Buntel
needs to pick up the marketing act before CF dies. Seriously,
you do seem to
struggle to follow along at times - suggest you actually
read.
re: CF has always been "dead" in many places.
How can you always be dead, doesn't make sense! You have to
have lived in
order to die. There used to be hundreds of cf jobs advertised
here in
Australia every day, literally every day. Now you may see 3
or 4 each week -
mostly for migrating old cf sites to new asp.net or java
sites. And there is
no longer any CF classes advetised or held in nearly all
states - they
literally shut them down. I'm confident enough that the
comment "CF is dead"
is accurate.
r: Maybe you should be answering those questions, since you
seem to know
they're true, and I haven't heard of any such things.
I know the answers to all of those questions - becuase CF is
dying. If CF
were living, then none of those questions would have been
asked.
re: So you know they're not investing in one?
Yes, I know that. They will never spend that kind fo money on
coldfusion -
it just wouldn't be vaible for them. We're darned lucky that
still have
small team of enginners to write tags around the java
libraries and release
new versions. They are not actually going to start
"innovating" with CF in a
market like this - and I don't blame them.

Security hotfix APSB11-04 - CF8 and log4j.properties

Hi,
I have been reviewing the Tech Notes for the security hotfix at http://kb2.adobe.com/cps/890/cpsid_89094.html which for CF 8.01 talks about backing up and replacing the log4j.properties file. I can't locate this on any of our CF 8.01 servers, so wondering if this is a mistake in the tech note and should have only applied to CF 9. Can I skip the step all together or do I still need to copy the file from the downloaded hotfix to the suggested location?
Thanks
Meint

Hi Meint,
My CF8.0.1 does not have log4j.properties file either tho CF9.0.1 has.
HTH, Carl.

CFChart in CFDocument on CF8

I'm using CF8 enterprise on Windows Server 2008 and CF8 developer on Windows Server 2003. I've never had problems getting images or cfcharts on my cfdocuments on my development server, but just yesterday got images to work on the production server by using file://ipaddress instead of the regular img src="img.jpg", but I still can't get the cfcharts to show up on the production server. With jpg and png the red x shows up, when I use flash, a blank box shows up. Does anyone have any hints?

The answer was here all along, I was just searching for the wrong things.

Possible cfdocument header/footer bug in CF8

All-
I'm experiencing a problem with header and footers containing
dynamic/
query variables in the header/footer text. The header and
footer are
sort of being cached or not being updated appropriately when
a query
variable is inserted into the content of the header or
footer. The
code below will generate a PDF with the header and footer
duplicating
the qryReps.rep_name from the last record across all document
sections/pages.....its not showing the showing the correct
qryReps.rep_name for
the particular record in that loop. SO, if the last record in
the
query is "John Doe", the header on EVERY PAGE shows "Header:
John
Doe". Anyone have any ideas??? Any input would be
appreciated!!!
NOTE: RUNNING ON CF8

This bug has been fixed and a hotfix for this will be
released very soon. Stay tuned.
