Images, CFDocument, anc CFContent

We have some "secure", non-web accessible, images that we
display inline on our site using the CFCONTENT tag like so:
<img
src="../logoexport.cfm?dlfilename=#urlEncodedFormat(thumbfilename)#">
The logoexport.cfm page looks like this:
<cfcontent type="image/jpg"
file="#materials_thumb_directory##url.DLFilename#"
deletefile="No">
This works perfectly fine for us when displaying in a
browser. However, when using CFDocument the images do not display.
It seems CFDocument simply renders the page as HTML rather than
returning the 'logoexport.cfm' page to the CF engine. Anyone else
have this issue? Know any workarounds?

Hi,
When you call the images inside your CFDOCUMENT its taking lot of time for Process, at the end the user will get frustrated.
Try to include all your styles and process the content in CFSAVECONTENT tag and use this variable.
It helped me.
<CFSAVECONTENT variable = test>
     <table style="margin-bottom: 0%" width="150%" >
            <tr>
                <td class=rtitle>Corrective Actions Summary</td>
                <td class=orgid align=right><img style="vertical-align: text-bottom" alt=Honeywell
                src="<cfoutput>#Request.root#feedback/images/small.gif</cfoutput>"
                border=0></td>
            </tr>
            <tr>
                <td style="height: 1px; background-color: black" colspan=2></td>
            </tr>
</table>
</CFSAVECONTENT>
<CFDOCUMENT format = "pdf">
     <cfoutput>#test#</cfoutput>
</CFDOCUMENT>

Closing seperate browser after cfcontent

Hi all,
I would like to get some help on cfcontent.
I use cfcontent to open a pdf in a seperate browser,
which works.I have a close button on the parent
window, along with other information related to the document.
When I hit the close button, I would like the pdf
browser(window)
to close. It doesn't seem to recognize that the PDFImage
window is open.
Below is my code to display the image
<cfheader name="Content-Disposition"
value="#URL.Image#">
<cfcontent type="application/pdf" file="#URL.Image#">
//Code to close the image window in the parent window close
button.
function closepage(){
//one way
if (window.PDFImage && window.PDFImage.open
&& !window.PDFImage.closed){
window.PDFImage.close();
//other way
if (PDFImage != null && PDFImage.open){
PDFImage.close();
The next issue is, I am trying to display a jpg in a
<table, the image must
be within the table. It works when I have the <img tag,
but I Would
like to replace it, due to some sharing violation of the
image being displayed.
cfcontent seems to work, but it takes the whole browser,
other codes(like buttons)
are ignored.
<table align="left" cellpadding="0" cellspacing="0"
class="withborder">
<tr> <td><span id="List3">
<cfheader name="Content-Disposition"
value="#Form.image_file#">
<cfcontent type="image/jpeg" file="#Form.image_file#">

</span></td>
</tr>
</table>
I am using MX 7. Any suggestions/solutions are welcome.
Thanks all for your time.

The online help for the onClick Javascript field says
"In the link generated for this icon include the following onClick javascript. Use of the onclick javascript could popup a help page in a new window (see example 1).
Example 1:
window.open('US/asfhhome.htm','Help','scrollbars=yes,resizable=yes,width=625,height=350,left=25,top=150');return false
Set the Icon Target attribute to # if you are using OnClick JavaScript. Set the Image Alt Text attribute to the text the user will see to click on."So, try putting "#" in the Target and window.close() in the onClick Javascript box.

Tracking another blog's stats

Can someone tell me how or give me a tutorial link that
explains how I can monitor the # of visits to someone else's
blog?

Keep in mind that statistics of another web site or blog is
private data and usually inaccessible unless that site/owner has
provided access to stats in someway or other, which is usually done
for some reason that enhances the owner's web site, either
visually, such as a widget, serving up ads, or general reporting
such as Google Analytics. The owner of the website/blog usually
places some JavaScript on the page which calls the monitoring agent
on another server.
If you're placing ads on the target website and you want to
know how many visits, you'll either have to trust what the owner is
reporting to you, get access to the web logs (assuming they are not
doctored), or create your own type of script that the owner places
on the blog that calls back to your site each time the page is
visited. You could also use an older method where the owner links
to your image on your site, similar to a script, except that the
image URL calls your ColdFusion template, such as <img
src="yoursite.com/image.cfm">, then in your image.cfm, you track
the statistics on the hit and deliver up your image using the
cfcontent tag.

Cfdocument type pdf - image

I am trying to get an image to display from side to side on a
pdf from cfdocument. I have left/right margins at 0 and the image
is fully 8.5" wide but I still get a right/left margin on the
display. Is this even possible??

Does adding the following code at the top force IE's hand?
<cfheader name="Content-Disposition" value="inline;
filename=myDoc.pdf">
<cfcontent type="application/pdf">

Creating PDF with IMAGE using CFDOCUMENT TAG

Hi Guys,
I m facing problem while creating the PDF using CFDOCUMENT
tag.
Actually my clients want the IMAGEs in PDF document.
Problem is most of the images in JPG format and while I am
going to attach images in PDF document it takes lots of time for
creating PDF. In most of time it cause timeout.
I have try to convert images JPG to PNG, yes I some what
better performance than JPG format but still it is work for 20 - 25
images. In my case I want to attach normally 50-100 images in PDF
(sometimes it is more 200).
PLZ, Help me.. F1...F1...F1
thanks in advance
Pritesh

I am having a similar and more serious problem. It takes a
long time to execute, but even attaching a small image balloons the
pdf to 6MB plus. After a few images it gets up to 20MB. These are
100k jpeg files being attached. The resulting PDF is too large to
email or process effectively. Does anyone know how to reduce
size/processing?

Images not displaying in CFDOCUMENT PDF

Hi there,
Has anyone notice any problems with images in dynamic PDF
using CFDOCUMENT? I have a site where I create several dynamic PDF
document (with images) and all of a sudden, they stop displaying.
The only new addition was a SSL for the site.
Any help would be greatly appreciated.

Thanks, Isaac.
My reason for posting that I was trying the src="file://E:\ solution before putting it in CFDocument was that I figured if it didn't work with the browser, it probably wouldn't work with CFDocument, which was probably presumptuous of me. I just tried using the IP Address instead of E:\etc and it shows up in the browser. Good news, the IP Addresses fix the logo problem, but not the CFChart problem.
Here's the failed img tag:
<img src="logo_30.jpg" width="96" height="50" border="0" alt="">
Here's the successful img tag:
<img src="http://ipaddress/portal/PROD/Forms/monthly_reports/logo_30.jpg" width="96" height="50" border="0" />
Here's the chart code:
<CFQUERY NAME="GrabData" datasource="admi-prod">
          sql goes here
</CFQUERY>
<cfset gwidth = 450>
<cfset gheight = 320>
<cfset min = int(arrayMin(grabData["total_inventory"])) - 1>
<cfif int(arrayMin(grabData["total_idle_capital"])) LT min>
        <cfset min = int(arrayMin(grabData["total_idle_capital"])) - 1>
</cfif>
<cfset max = ceiling(arrayMax(grabData["total_inventory"])) + 1>
<cfchart scalefrom="#min#" scaleto="#max#" title="Total Closing Inventory & Total Idle Capital" format="jpg" chartheight="#gheight#" chartwidth="#gwidth#">
        <cfchartseries type="line" query="grabData" valuecolumn="total_inventory" itemcolumn="xlabel"/>
        <cfchartseries type="line" query="grabData" valuecolumn="total_idle_capital" itemcolumn="xlabel"/>
</cfchart>

Images in Excel with CFContent

I'm trying to insert some gifs into an excel spreadheet created with cfcontent. The essence of the code is this...
<cfcontent type="application/msexcel">
<cfheader name="Content-Disposition" value="attachment; filename=myexcelfile.xls">
<table>
<tr>
     <td>
     <img src="https://www.mydomain.com/images/mypic.gif">
     </td>
</tr>
</table>
...so when the spreadsheet comes up, it shows the images, but they aren't saved in the spreadsheet itself - they're just linking to the image file online. So if I unplug my network cable, the images will disappear, despite the xls file being saved on my local machine.
Does anyone know how to embed the image files themselves into an excel file created through ColdFusion?

You might try creating a spreadsheet containing an image using the Microsoft Excel program then save it as HTML. Examining the HTML Excel generates may give you an idea how to structure your HTML to conform to Excel's format.

CFDOCUMENT with Images = Huge File

I've been looking through the forum and google and can't find
a straight answer. Has Adobe responded to the issue? My PDF is 10x
that of the image. I know there are alternatives to CFDOCUMENT, I
know the PDF's can be optimized out of CF, but why isn't this
fixed? Maybe at least an optimize option in CFPDF
Anyone found a work around in CF? Any response from
Adobe?

not that I've heard yet. Hopefully someone will respond...
even better if Adobe responds.

Cfdocument only displaying one image

Hi all,
Im trying to use the cfdocument tage to print certificates. I
have 2 types of certificate each has a different jpg. First a run a
query to select the names of the people and which type of
certificate they need.
I then loop the query and include a page with the relevant
image using cfinclude template. The included page cfouts the name
in the correct position and the certificate image is a background
image in a table.
So i should end up with a pdf with lots of certificates, very
cool, well it would be but the image disappears after the first
page.
So Iend up with a perfect certificate on the first page and
just the names on all the other pages with no certificate image
Any ideas on what the problem is anyone ?

Either that or you've somehow turned on the single-app preference in the Dock. Various programs can set this, or you can use the Terminal. I use Secrets. There is a link to a prefpane there that installs as a system preference.
Terminal command to disable it is:
defaults write com.apple.dock single-app -bool no

JPG images bloat CFDocument PDF 10X

We're creating PDF files using the CFDocument tag. We're
including JPG images in the document. The JPG files are 1MB in file
size total but the resulting PDF file is 11+ MEGs (10X). I've been
searching the forums and Internet but I'm having trouble finding
anything about this. All I could find on the topic is something
about duplicate color spaces but it didn't solve anything.
Note that if I open the file in Acrobat, I can
compress/optimize it down to less than 1 MEG but that's not a
practical solution programming-wise. I wish there was a way to call
Acrobat from CF to take advantage of the optimization feature.
Does anyone know of a fix or work around for this? We'll be
generating thousands of PDFs and this will be a big problem. Do you
know of an alternate way to generate PDF files from CF. OR how
about a command line utility or CFX for compressing PDF files?

How do you use it, as a service on the server watching a
folder and doing bulk optimizations, or file-by-file from
CF?

cfdocument background image

I am creating an appliaction that generates a pdf mock up for
a catalog
cover with custom content. I tried various methods to get
this to work
and none of them worked. I tried using both css and html, and
referencing the image with an absolute path, relative path,
and full
url. I have backgroundvisible="yes" in my cfdocument tag. Is
there
somehting im missing, or some alternate method to get this to
function
correctly? Thanks in advance.

Background image works for me.
What exact version, from the CF administrator, are you
running?
Please attach code that demonstrates the problem.

Send image to browser with cfcontent not download prompt

I'm sending an image to be downloaded using cfcontent
<cfheader name="Content-disposition" value="attachment;filename=#getit.file#">
<cfcontent type="image/jpg" file="#physicalpath#\#getit.file#">
Can I have the image sent to the browser instead of a download prompt?

If the image isn't accessible directly via HTTP, you can use CF to serve it. Your CF page would have the CFCONTENT tag as you showed in your original post, then you'd use IMG tags in other pages pointing to that CF page:
<img src="myimage.cfm?id=whatever"/>
You wouldn't need the CFHEADER to specify it as an attachment, though - that's only for when you want to prompt the user to download a file without having it handled natively by the browser.

CFDocument Image Maps

We've run into issues using client image maps in CFDocument.
We're able to render the image maps fine, and when we use a fixed
image size like 800x600, they work fine:
<img src="/express/cache/#imagename#" class="map"
usemap="##map1" border="1" width="800" height="600"/>
However, when we attempt to use percentages to get the image
to scale to the size of the whole page,
<img src="/express/cache/#imagename#" class="map"
usemap="##map1" border="1" width="100%" height="100%"/>
we get a ColdFusion error, as follows:
An exception occurred when performing document processing.
The cause of this exception was that:
coldfusion.document.spi.DocumentExportException:
java.lang.NumberFormatException: For input string: "100%".
Taking out the map reference makes this work as expected.
So, okay, the parser must be getting confused because it
doesn't know how to lay out the image map with the x% scaling.
We'll just use the exact size of the image to scale it to the size
we want... This is when we run into another issue: We can't seem to
accurately size images in CFDocument. When we set the image to
1024x768 (or something like that), the image renders at the exact
same size! (The underlying PNG is actually 2400 x 1800).
So, the questions are:
1) Is there any way to dynamically scale the image and use
image maps in CFDocument, or
2) How in the world does the image scaling work (in the black
box)?
We just want to have a full screen mapped image that we can
use as a TOC for our CFDocument.
Thanks!

John,
the Robohelp built-in editor messes the code up, so I never
use it. However, not even Dreamweaver supports interactive effects
in image maps. I wanted the hot spots to hover like hyperlinks.
Seems to me much more convenient for the user.
quote:
I'm not sure what you are trying to do when you say "the area
tag cannot be formatted using CSS." What kind of formatting do you
want on a piece of an image?
Unfortunately, you cannot use the hover attribute in css for
the <area href> tag. That is, why you need a more complicated
solution for interactive hot spots in image maps.
My first solution had some flaws. Eventually, I found this
smart piece of Javascript:
http://www.netzgesta.de/mapper/
This really did the trick and works great. The script is free
of charge for non-commercial use only.

Troubles with cfdocument | cfcontent tag after cf update

I'm having some issues with the cf document and cfcontent
tags, they do not function correctly, the cfdocument hangs when
calling a PDF file and the cfcontent throws a server 500 error when
I call an Excel file. Is there a Hotfix to solve this issue or is
there anything I can do to solve this problem.

I ran the CC Cleaner tool but there are failed records. The instructions say I should contact customer service if that happens.
Exactly how/where do I do that?
I need to get this all fixed so I can get back to work! Sorry for thee rant, its been a rough week...
Thank you for your help.

Images not rendred properly in a pdf CFDOCUMENT

Hi,
I'm creating a pdf document which contains color and greysacle jpg image.
About half of the greyscale images are much whiter than the original.
I've read about some problem with image scaling, but not about this one.
Any idea ?

Hi Dana,
Which settings are you considering and what are the performance issues?
You can optimize for certain workflows that will adjust processor intensive work, such as only generating large previews when displayed. If you're strictly talking about video card accelerated features, I think it's more a matter of On or Off as opposed to performance tuning. I just did a quick look and with video card acceleration enabled, in Full Screen Preview you can pan the image at magnifications much smoother.
regards,
steve
