I haven't tried Martin's tag, but I can tell you from using the free tag "CF_HTML2PDF3" that also relies on HTMLdoc to convert to pdf's that its not quite perfect. Unfortunately, I can't use FOP because I am on ColdFusion 5 for the server where this is needed. It looks like FOP would be a better alternative if I were able to use that one.
I would really love to see a flashpaper plugin too. That would be very welcomed. -----Original Message----- From: Martin Parry [mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED] Sent: Friday, November 26, 2004 10:25 AM To: CF-Talk Subject: RE: OT: Flashpaper Hiya - I've posted a template which is part of my CMS for you. It relies on HTMLDoc and uses CFEXECUTE to convert inbound HTML passed as an attribute into a PDF file. The template is at http://www.beetrootstreet.com/_media/zip/PDFSaveContent.ZIP HTMLDOC is found at http://www.easysw.com/htmldoc/software.php?VERSION=1.8.24 Hope you can make good use of it.

The problem I have is that I need to convert a block of HTML which is in a variable (from cfsavecontent) into a PDF with the minimum of fuss, at the moment I have a few options but no real examples! The CFDJ article doesn't explain HTML to PDF does it?

And yeah, it's very good at at it. Bit more work involved than say Blackstone will require but it doesn't cost a penny. There was a couple of articles on using CFMX and FOP in the CFDJ earlier this year too.
