Using cfdocument to generate PDF

Hi all,
The actual table is a lot larger than the mock-up one that I am going to show you but this mock-up one does explain the problem. Please go to http://www.monteandjanicechan.com/test_table.cfm
The thickness of the grid lines in the table are coming up the way I want in the HTML version. You can do a View Source to see the actual HTML stuff that gets generated. Now, I put these HTMl codes within the cfdocument tag with format="pdf"; please go to http://www.monteandjanicechan.com/test_table_pdf.cfm. You will see the inconsistent thickness of the grid line for sneezing and for flu. To further illustrate my point, I removed the background colors and generate a PDF; please go to http://www.monteandjanicechan.com/test_table_pdf_nocolor.cfm. The thickness of the grid lines is back to normal.
This leads me to believe that the background color of one cell somehow goes over to the cell right next to it and cover up the border. Here are the strange things:
1) This is ONLY happening in rowspan and ONLY happening from the second row on to the rest of the rowspan. For example, first Sneezing is okay but the border of the second sneezing is not correct; the first Flu is okay but the borders of the second and the third Flu are not correct.
2) The background color does NOT cover the border of its own cell at all; it only cover the border of the cell right next to it.
My question is, how can I fix this issue?
Any suggestions and pointers are greatly appreciated.

Two things:
1) Whether or not this is a bug. The cfdocument style implementation seems to differ from the browser's. It seems that, in cfdocument, the style of an element overrides that of the element preceding it. For example, the style of the row
<tr>
    <td class="b">Joe Schmo</td>
    <td class="c" style="background-color:#99FF99">Sneezing</td>
</tr>
overrrides the style of the row
<tr>
    <td class="b">John Doe</td>
    <td class="c" style="background-color:#99FF99">Sneezing</td>
    <td class="d_style" rowspan="2" style="background-color:#99FF99">Nose Spray</td>
</tr>
Therefore, as there is no d_style in the Joe Schmo row, this row overrides the d_style inherited from the rowspan. This might or might not be a bug. However, it should make you wonder whether or not you've over-designed.
2) Your styling is inefficient. For example, the following style settings draw 2 borders at the same place
.c_first {border-right:1px solid black;}
.d_first {border-left:1px solid black;}
<td class="c_first" style="background-color:#ffff99">Cough</td>
<td class="d_first" style="background-color:#ffff99">Vitamins</td>
If your intention is to emphasize a border, then it is easy to improve your styling. One way to do so is to remove the border-right setting of the first TD, and double the border-left of the next TD. Alternatively, you may double the border-right setting of the first TD, and remove the border-left of the next TD.
Also, it is best-practice to transfer all the CSS to the style sheet, so that your table contains no CSS code.
The following HTML is based on what I've just said:
<html>
<head>
    <title>Test Table</title>
    <style type="text/css">
    .a_style
        {border-left: 1px solid black;

Using FOP for generating PDF report

Hi,
I followed the otn article for generating pdf files uing FOP.
But I was unable to do so. When I debugged it I found that when the javascript tries to get the XMLFO output from htmldb it gets a blank xml output. I tried to use the exact same url the java script uses ( I got the url by using alerts in java script) I got back an empty xml file.
I am using htmldb 2.0 on 9.2.0.5.
Can any one point me to the right direction
thanks

Hi,
I am using iAS 1.0.2.2.2 (Jserv) it is an Oracle Applications Environment.
I finished the whole note.
1. Downloaded the FOP jar files.
2. Unzipped the jar files in the JAVA_TOP of the Applications environment
3. JAVA_TOP is already in the class path of the jserv
4. Added the jsp file to the correct directory
5. Created the htmdb application with the java script
6. I put some debugging alerts in the java script
Now when I click on the pdf link I don't get any output. Because of the debugging statement in the java script I was able to figure out that the java script is not getting any output when it calls back the htmldb for the XML FOP outout.
I finally tried the URL which the java script uses directly. It came back with an empty xml file.
thanks

Creating template file using ireport while generating PDF(jasperreports)

Hi,
I need to create a PDF report with multiple pages.the layout is as follows.
each page has text on the left and bar graph/pie chart on the right along with some more text below and a table below at the end of the page.
and so on for all the other pages................
I have been trying to do this using jasperreports(creating the template file(.jrxml) using ireport)but i have no idea how to create all these pages(the formatting and layout)...any help would be appreciated...
thanks.

Hi,
since 10.1.3 does not have templates I am wondering what you were attempting to do? It appears as if the Faces libraries are not available for the project, so you may want to give us a steb-by-step instruction of how to reproduce the error

I have the same problem with FOP. The problem come from xerces.jar , xalan.jar versions needed by FOP. Weblogic load a previously version of this jar file.

I see no problem with your batch file, and the messages
proceed properly. To troubleshoot this further, I suggest
you read the email (currently adjacent) titled:
"Error using MIF doclet to create PDFs".
It describes several different approaches, including
generating PS and using Distiller to generate PDF,
or trying dzbatcher with -v option to echo each
command to see where it stops.
Please let us know your results, as this seems to be
a common problem.

PDF Output: Why is "PDF Review" styled different than "Generate PDF"?

I am new to RH. I have imported a folder of HTML files (used in an Eclipse Help plugin) into RH9 for HTML as a project. My goal is to produce a PDF document.
When I generate a PDF from Printed Documentation in the Single Source Layouts pad, many styles are incorrect. I've tried generating to Word and from there to PDF with the same effect.
However, when I use Create PDF for Review from Project Manager the styles shown in the PDF (fonts, alignment, etc) are nearly perfect! Is the PDF Review option using a different CSS?
I have tried exploring the CSS specified in the Generate PDF flow, but I am unable to make changes, perhaps due to my massive state of confusion. So I'm losing hope that I could manually tweak to CSS that I think I use in the Generate PDF flow to appear like the "PDF Review" flow. I specified the same CSS used in the Eclipse Help system, but evidently there must be some defaults built into the Eclipse viewer that are not specified in the CSS we use.
Thanks in advance,
Charly in SJ

Here's what I think is happening. You say PDF review is good but printed documentation gives wrong styles. You also say you assume PDF review uses the Stylesheet (CSS) for each topic, yes it does. Now if that is giving the correct styles it tells you that is what you need when you generate printed documentation.
When you use a Word template you will get very different styles unless you have set up the template to mirror your CSS. Using the Map to CSS option you have two choices, you can select None when each topic will be printed according to the CSS attached to the topic or you can select one of the CSS files available in the project.
I suspect that if you select the None option, you will get the same as you are seeing in the PDF review.
If your document is not going to be worked on by anyone, such as a training department using it as a based document, then the CSS options are fine. If others will be working on it, then the Word template option is better as lists will be true lists and headings will be true heading styles.

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 delete pdf files created on server using cfdocument pdf?

I am using <cfdocument format="pdf" ...
to create a dynamically named and generated .pdf and it works rather well. Navy managers can easily email the pdf to ships in the fleet and planning forces in the shipyards. (Planning data changes almost daily). However I have noticed that the pdf file stays on the server. Over time this could become a problem with numbers. Is there something I am missing to remove these pdfs over time. Other than a manual review and delete. This government server requires 4 logins and your right arm to update, so something auto is needed.

Thanks for responding:
I am not using cfmail - I am leaving it up to the user to print save or email.
Your second option sound good but I really was hoping I was just missing something easy (new to cf).
I did try giving the pdf the same name but I was having lots of troble with always returning the cached version.

How to loop and add multiple records from db in .pdf using cfdocument

I have a query that pulls a users information (Id, FirstName,
LastName, Title,etc). I then use cfdocument to output a person's
biography into a pdf. This is great, because we no longer have to
manually create bios, as they are now all dynamically generated.
The problem I have now is that we want to be able to select
multiple users and create a .pdf with each of their bios included
in the one pdf.
How do I loop thru records from a sql database in a
cfdocument that includes a header and footer in cfdocument items,
and ensure that one persons bio doesn't continue on the page with
anothers.
Here's the code I have so far for the cfdocument:

Put the query around just the body of your cfdocument not
around the whole cfdocument tag. Also, move any query information
out of the header and put that in the body of the document. Lastly,
put a cfdocumentitem pagebreak after each bio...you will need to
check the recordcount of the query against the row you are on so
that you don't add an empty page break at the end.

Cfdocument running slow when generating PDF

I have two servers configured the same way. They're running CF 8 Enterprise (exact version is 8,0,1,195765), Java version is 1.6.0_04. Servers are Windows 2008 Server Standard. On one of them, generating PDFs using CFDOCUMENT is very fast. On the other it's painfully slow, can take minutes for a simple PDF. I've checked everything I can think of on the two servers and they seem pretty much the same. I checked the iText jars, they appear to be the same as well. I've seen other people post with slowness issues, but many posts relate to dynamic images, which are not an issue here because I have a PDF with no images in it. I'm totally out of ideas as to what could be causing the difference in performance. Anybody else run into this and find a solution?

Actually, I have emailed the support and they have done it for me.
But, I believe that they went into Policies --> Desktop Protection Policy
Then, if you go to “Browser Protection & Web Filtering” go to the “Exception” tab and add in there the URL of your excluded coldfusion server.
Also, in Virus & Spyware protection, exclude the extension “.cfm” from the “Excluded Files and Folders” and it should work.
If it doesn’t, just email the support and ask them to do it for you

hi,
regarding report, there is a dedicated report forum. you should post there.
but answer for your question is form is nothing to do with the pdf generation. you can call the report from the as usual.
In the report you should set the properties like
destype to 'file'
desname to 'path with file name'
desformat to 'pdf'

When trying to generate pdf file from firefox 7.0.1 , getting corrupt content error, used to work with previous versions of firefox

We have done toleration testing on firefox version 5 thru 6 and haven't got an issue with our website generating pdf files for our users. One of our users upgraded to firefox version 7.0.1 and they tried to generate a pdf report, now a screen pops up with Corrupted Content Error The page you are trying to view cannot be shown because an error in the data transmission was detected. I recreated this issue on my pc yesterday by installing firefox 7.0.1. Any hints as to what I need to look at would help. Cannot provide the url because it is a secure website for law enforcement. Thanks.

You can turn off compatibility checking, but more and more of the Google Toolbar will not work. Google is no longer supporting the Google Toolbar so you should use the alternatives.
Hi Mark,
