Sorry I've not been following this thread so the following may be totally inapplicable.
I've never used ActivePDF myself but it utilizes htmldoc which I have been using for years. I can't see any reason why they're using COM at all. I simply use cfhttp and cfexecute (or cfx_shellExce) when running htmldoc. my 2c Dave -----Original Message----- From: Dave Carabetta [mailto:cbetta@;hotmail.com] Sent: 06 November 2002 15:34 To: CF-Talk Subject: RE: ActivePDF (web grabber) and CFMX does not work. >Its the web Grabber I need to use. > >Thankfully I run under IIS so I created an ASP page to do the web capture. > >Seems to be the easiest thing to do in the circumstances while MM get there >COM stuff sorted out. I actually disagree with your last statement for a couple of reasons. First, it's not a MM-specific problem; it's a Java issue. Java has never played well with COM, and, quite frankly, won't ever. I forget the name of the project (AXIS?), but there is an open source effort (which MM uses in CFMX) to integrate COM with Java. Second, why pursue efforts to integrate COM with Java when Microsoft itself has said for a while that COM is going away in favor of .NET? Third, I think the onus is on the ActivePDF people to "keep up with the times" in the sense that MM announced will over a year ago their intentions to shift CF from a C/C++ base to Java. It seems to me that if they wanted to keep their CF customers, they should have focused on a new version that would integrate with a Java-based application server. Last, ActivePDF is a third-party tool, and, as such, MM should not be responsible for improving its integration with CFMX. That's the chance you take when you use third-party tools. You may disagree with me, and that's fine. But I think your barking up the wrong tree by looking to MM fix your problem.
