We have a process where some PDFs are flattened and some are not. They'll be
flattened later. We use cfpdf for this.
Is there a test that we can do to determine if a PDF has been flattened
already? Currently we're trying to insert a watermark and if it fails, we
suspect it's been flattened.
Also, I should have said that we are on CF9 for this.
thank you.

I found that if I decouple the encrypt_column from the insert script by
requesting it from dual first, that it then works fine. While I would prefer
to do it without a two-step process, this works fine for now.
cfquery name=qInsertF9099AlienInfo_prep

I suspect you have a charset mismatch. What is the DB charset, CF charset
and what is the setting for sending cfqueryparams as Unicode?
Our Oracle 11g displays âAL16UTF16â as the char set.
PERM is UTF-8
However encrypt_column is returning a binary and it's going into a RAW field.
I did an experiment, calling ENCRYPT_COLUMN without doing the INSERT. I ran it
300 times and it didn't fail once.
cfloop index = x from = 1 to = 300
cfquery name=qInsertF9099AlienInfo
datasource=#application.dbDataSource#
select Encrypt_Column(RPAD(UPPER(NVL(cfqueryparam
Here is the code, simplified somewhat.
This is the INSERT. The a_alien_last_name goes into a RAW (56bytes) field. It
used to go into a VARCHAR. Following this is the ENCRYPT_COLUMN function in
Oracle that is called in the INSERT.
CFSET a_alien_last_name = ''
cfquery
I'll ask about this. I have to wait for the dba to come in.
