Actually, trying to move away from xtags! (I am really the only one at our company that can code them with any speed, and there is just too much content to create it all by myself.)
On the other hand, we have pocketfuls of CF developers! The quark layout person is currently receiving a PDF created from Excel right now. The PDF is imported into Quark into an image field. This works currently. I built a cfdocument page that replicates the format and saves the pdf. If I save it with font embedding, the fonts get a strange prefix (like HFGHT-Arial), and quark cannot find the "screen fonts". If I save it without the font embedding, the fonts get saved with an expected name, but quark still cannot find the "screen font". I plan on banging my head against this issue all day Tuesday and Wednesday (assuming I can finish my Yahoo Maps implementation for an ajax search and map app.) Thanks for the idea, it is actually my 3nd backup plan (first backup is to create the excel file from cf, and have the excel person save it as a pdf as they do now) Jerry On 8/17/07, Dinner <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> wrote: > Hey Jerry, forgot to post an idea that worked for me with Quark- > > XTags!
