Justify text in CFDOCUMENT?
I'm creating HTML with CF and then converting it to a PDF with CFDOCUMENT.
It doesn't seem to support justifying text. Is there a way to make it do so?
I've set in the CSS: p { text-align:justify; } But the text still comes
out ragged right...

Re: Justify text in CFDOCUMENT?
This is an outstanding bug going back to 2005 when CF7 came out.
The underlying engine that provides cfdocument doesn't support it and
Adobe have confirmed numerous times they can't fix it because of the
underlying engine.
Basically, they need to rewrite it.
So your options for now are:
1. Live with it (meh)
2. Use iText.

Re: Justify text in CFDOCUMENT?
I vote for live-with-it at this point. It was a client request and I
don't think they'll be too sore if they don't get their text justified... ;)

Or use a table and align.

Re: Justify text in CFDOCUMENT?
2. Use iText.
iText can a PITA for complex documents. I found it to be *much* less labor
intensive to use a RTF document and add/edit content to the text file and
converting it to a PDF using oolib http://oolib.riaforge.org/
I have been able to get much nicer formatting with that method compared to
CFDocument.

Re: Justify text in CFDOCUMENT?
Interesting.
Are there any writeups on doing that kind of thing?

Re: Justify text in CFDOCUMENT?
I believe you can also do similar with open office documents as well,
install open office on the server and use its API, I think there may even
be a CF API wrapper

Not that II am aware of. This is all stuff that I figured out myself via
trial and error. lots of error ;)
I will be back on tomorrow and I can pull up my notes. Google RTF and CF in
the interim. BTW I have been ALL over the whole creating PDFs thing for
the last week so I am steeped in the subject matter. There are *lots* of
ways to do it. It is just a matter of figuring out what fits your needs.
For me it was RTF = oolib = PDF

Re: Justify text in CFDOCUMENT?
Thanks. I was really just interested for future reference. I'm sticking
with cfdocument for this project.
