CFDOCUMENT Orientation

I need to develop a pdf which starts in portrait and changes
to landscape for some pages and comes back to portrait. I thought I
could use cfdocumentsection but, i was wrong. Please advice if
anybody achieved this

This should work for you with some tweaking of course:


<cfparam name="DocumentOrientation" default="portrait">

<cfset Variables.AllowableOrientations =
"portrait,landscape">

<cfif NOT ListFindNoCase(Variables.AllowableOrientations,
DocumentOrientation)>
<p>Document orientation:
<cfoutput>#DocumentOrientation#</cfoutput> is not a
valid choice.</p>
<cfabort>
</cfif>

<cfdocument format="PDF"
orientation="#DocumentOrientation#">
HTML and CFML code
</cfdocument>

Cfdocument page orientation

Hi,
does anybody know if it is possible to change the page
orientation ( from portrait to landscape) inside a single document
using the cfdocument tag?
Thanks
Claudia

Yes I know that.
I want to have one pdf-file.The first two pages in "portrait"
and the third page in "landscape".
I tried to use the cfdocument tag twice, but it doesn't work.
The second cfdocument tag is ignored.
Here an example:
<cfdocument format="pdf" orientation="portrait">
...first two pages
</cfdocument>
<cfdocument format="pdf" orientation="landscape">
... third page
</cfdocument>
I hope it's more clear now.

Help with PDF creation using CFDOCUMENT / iText

Hi everyone,
Finally made the jump to CF7 after sticking with 5 for way
too long and now have an urgent need to generate PDF.
<cfdocument> seems to do better than anything else at
converting HTML styled with CSS, but falls short in a few
fundamental areas. What I need to do ( to name 3) is:
* Generate a table of contents - including page numbers
* Have far greater control over the headers / footers
* Swap page orientation mid-document
I can get round the page orientation thing by creating each
section as an individual PDF and gluing them back together using
PaulH's excellent PDF concatenation code. Using <cfdocument>
I can reserve space for the headers / footers, and add a table of
contents with placeholders for the numbers.
Now, my question: Will I be able to rewrite all the page
numbers, finish off the table of contents and headers / footers
using iText? i.e. traverse the concatenated PDF file, rewrite the
headers / footers, work out the page numbers and rewrite the TOC?
I'm not asking for sample code or even a how to - just a
heads-up from some who knows iText well and can quickly say whether
this is feasible.
I hope it is because my alternative approach is to go down
the xsl-fo route which I suspect will be more effort in the long
run.
Thanks
PJ

How to use cfdocument create a PDF file and save the file in server?

Hi,
I want to use cfdocument to create a PDF file and save it in
the server for other people to download,can you give me a idea how
to do this.Thanks.
<cfdocument format = "PDF" pagetype="A4"
orientation="portrait">
</cfdocument>
Mark

Hi
<cfdocument filename="" format = "PDF" pagetype="A4"
orientation="portrait">
</cfdocument>
Give the physical path to the filename. You have write
permission for this folder to create a PDF file.

Cfreport landscape orientation?

Running ColdFusion 8. We're using the cfreport tag to bring up reports designed in coldfusion report builder. They were designed in landscape orientation. We have cfreport's format set to flashpaper. when the report is brought up on screen it shows in portrait and prints in portrait. if the cfreport format is changed to PDF, it gets brought up landscape and prints in landscape.
We want to be able to show reports in flashpaper, but have it in landscape orientation by default. Is this possible? Why does cfreport not have an orientation attribute like cfdocument has? Right now users will have to change the printing settings everytime to change it to landscape; this is quite a hassle. Why can't cfreports be set to landscape through code?
or, if they can, how can I do this? Thanks...

I suggest just creating another CFR with the other orientantion. If you created the CFR in landscape, and say you took full advantage of the width with where you placed all your elements, how could you expect all elements to fit when the orientation changes?

Cfdocument format = PDF - does not format correctly

Greetings
I am simply attempting to print invoices from a query that displays correctly on the cfm result page, but using cfdocument to render a PDF version (to mail out) does not format even remotely close to the cfm page.
I tried every conceivable method I know of, including:
Formating the cfm page (via CSS and hardcoded table width) to be 612 px X 792 px (8.5 X 11 in), and here is the cfdocument code:
<cfdocument
format="pdf"
pageType="custom"
unit="in"
marginbottom="0.75"
marginleft="0.75"
marginright="0.75"
margintop="0.75"
pageHeight="11"
pageWidth="8.5"
mimeType="text/html"
fontembed="yes"
orientation="portrait">
<style type="text/css">
@import url(css/moorings.css);
</style>
<html> blah blah </html>
</cfdocument>
The rendered PDF file is 4.5 X 5 in- (both in IE and Firefox) What am I missing here?
CF 9
Thanks in advance, as always.

Well, in answer to my own question, the solution is in the CSS, using tables and CSS:
set table height and width to 100%
set font-size:100%;
set header font, bolder, larger :125%;, etc.
Also using the cfdocument attributes as shown in the posting
The PDF now prints correctly, margins are perfect.
Now I have to figure out how to loop through the 900+ records, convert each to a PDF and print one copy of each-
Anyone?
Thanks....

CFDocument and pagesize

Having issues since the install of Acrobat Reader 8 with
pagesize.
I have a document that needs to be rendered 14x8.5 (Legal
Landscape). I have tried pagetype="legal" orientation="landscape",
I have also tried pagetype="custom" pageheight="8.5"
pagewidth="14". No matter how I do this, it still is getting
rendered in Acrobat Reader 8 as 11x8.5. When I try to print the
PDF, it just centers the 11x8.5 rendering on the 14x8.5 legal
paper.
Anyone have any insight?

ok, i called a buddy and figured it out. i needed to include
the CSS styles inside of the cfdocument tags.

Cfdocument and binary output

I'm using the Fusebox3 framework.
file: dsp_Invoice.cfm
<cfdocument format="pdf" orientation="portrait"
name="myPDF" overwrite="true">
<cfcontent type="application/pdf" variable="#myPDF#">
I get the binary results opened in Wordpad with the filename
default.cfm
Any ideas?
Tried using Foxit PDF reader on IE7 and Firefox2. Both
usually open PDF correctly from anywhere on the web.

<cfheader name="Content-Disposition" value="inline;
filename=invoice.pdf">
<cfcontent type="application/pdf" variable="#myPDF#">
in place of just the cfcontent tag alone.
In any case, I would build the invoice document in
dsp_Invoice.cfm. Then I would open it in a separate page,
dsp_showInvoice.cfm, say, that contains just a cfheader and
cfcontent tag.

Cfdocument font problem

Hi all,
I used cfdocument to create a pdf. Anfortunately the font
used in the content isn't showed in the pdf. I define the font with
css in the file itself. The font is installed on the server and
fontembed (property of cfdocument) is set to yes. The strange thing
is the font shows when a pdf is created via a report (.cfr).
When I test the file on my localmachine it works fine, but on
the server it doesnt work. My local machine runs om Windows, the
server runs on Unix. Both machines are running Coldfusion MX 7. Am
I doing something wrong?
Thanx already for your answer!
Best regards,
Paul

Thank you for your answer and sorry for replying this late.
We use the IKEA Sans font family. This is the corporate font
(truetype). Yes I do mean that the cfreport generates PDF with the
correct font on Unix box but cfdocument does not. Below you will
find a short example:
<cfdocument format="pdf" orientation="landscape"
pagetype="A4" fontembed="yes">
<!DOCTYPE html PUBLIC "-//W3C//DTD XHTML 1.0
Transitional//EN" "
http://www.w3.org/TR/xhtml1/DTD/xhtml1-transitional.dtd">
<html xmlns="
http://www.w3.org/1999/xhtml">

<meta http-equiv="Content-Type" content="text/html;

<title>Pdf test</title>
<style type="text/css">

font-size: 25px;
</style>
</head>
<body>
Hello world!! Wel iets met een a-tje erin.

If you need more information please let me know! Thank you

Cfdocument pdf

Can someone tell me why my pdf is adding an extra blank page to my document?

</head>
<body>
<cfinclude template="includes/include_1449_p1.cfm">

</html>
</cfdocument>
When I run the include by itself it is just fine, no extra space or page.

Never mind - I see that this has been addressed in Hotfix 1 -
I installed it and this resolved the problem.

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.

Data not displaying inside cfdocument

Hello,
I am encountering a strange situation when trying to display data inside a
<cfdocument> tag. I have constructed the code outside of a <cfdocument>
tag and all displays as intended.
However, when I insert the data inside a <cfdocument> tag and use the
attribute of float: left, on the <div> tags the data associated with the
<div> tag the attribute is applied to, dissappears. Remove the float: left
attribute and the data reappears.
This happens whether I insert directly inside a <cfdocument> tag or do it
via the <cfsavecontent> process.
Any ideas on where I should be looking to fix the issue? Also, I am using
DW CS5, in code mode for this.
Thanks - Leonard B

CFDOCUMENT "AllowModifyAnnotations"

I posted this on the CFDOCUMENT page within documentation as
well, as it seems like a bug.
I just can't get permissions="AllowModifyAnnotations" to do
anything. Every document CFDOCUMENT serves up has commenting
disabled.
On a side note, every document has Form Fill enabled, whether
or not AllowFillIn is even specified.
Has anyone been successful in creating a PDF that allows
commenting with CFDOCUMENT (or even CFREPORT)?
Thanks!

Sure. This problem came to me as a trouble ticket to resolve.
As always "20/20 in the hindsight" this is an easily solvable
problem. The issue is that the page seems to error if you specify
the marginbottom attribute to be 0. If you leave the attribute out
the page works fine, however in this case the bottom margin was
desired to be as small as possible so it was set to zero by the
original developer. Atleast it was an interesting issue...
<cfscript>
// of course these vars would be passed via a form but for
this example...
form.lname = 'Frank'; form.fname='Mark'; form.userid='1000';
