Thanks for the tip, Ali. I guess what I would need to do that is install Adobe Acrobat on the server to generate PDF's?

Flash Remoting and Popchart Rick, You could put the data into a PDF and let people save or print the data. That way you have ultimate control of the placement of data. -AD -----Original Message----- From: Rick Faircloth [mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED]] Sent: Saturday, September 07, 2002 7:23 PM To: CF-Talk Subject: RE: (Flash/CFMX Rocks!) Flash Remoting and Popchart Thanks, Ben. For printing purposes (I'm still looking for a good, inexpensive printing solution for data that spans multiple pages so the data won't be cut in half between pages) I'd probably do with Flash what I do in HTML display now: for online viewing I have the tables, but when it comes time to print, I usually have a link to a page without the graphics, menu, etc., that more or less shows them what the printed page will look like. I guess I could do that with Flash, too...

Rick, I generally go with this rule of thumb. If you have a lot of data that needs to be displayed in tables or if you have data that needs to be printed (especially this one), go with HTML. Otherwise, Flash could be a good app. Although you can use Flash to output large datasets like that, it's typically faster and easier in HTML. As for printing, well... Flash printing = evil. <g> Ben Johnson Information Architect www.architekture.com [p] 720.934.2179 ______________________________________________________________________ Your ad could be here.
