Brad had some trouble with sending this message, so he asked me to try forwarding it:
We are experiencing a handful of anomalies with the cfdocument tag when generating PDF's. *One* of which is that text surrounded by <u> </u> exhibits strange behavior such as extra spaces (which are underlined) magically appearing before and or after the text. Example <u>test</u> would have extra "______" at the end of it-- sometimes all the way to the end of the page. About the only info I could find on the net was an unanswered comment on the Adobe Livedocs, and this unresolved Experts Exchange article: http://www.experts-exchange.com/Web/WebDevSoftware/ColdFusion/Q_21619446 ..html The above article seems to agree that the problem is limited to Linux, but nobody knows why it happens. We are using CF 7.0.2. I have run 4 tests. a) PDF Generation using cfdocument on a Windows server using CF 7.0.2 b) FlashPaper Generation using cfdocument on a Windows server using CF 7.0.2 c) PDF Generation using cfdocument on a Liniux server using CF 7.0.2 d) FlashPaper Generation using cfdocument on a Liniux server using CF 7.0.2 a) Works! 51 KB File b) Works! 57 KB File c) Broken! 2 KB File!!!!!! d) Works! 56 KB File The problem does in fact seem to be limited to PDF files on Linux servers. And why the heck is the file so small??? All of these test files are available for you to view at www.bradwood.com/cfdocumenttest. Please check them out to prove I'm not completely insane. If anybody out there heard of this, experienced this, works for iText and personally wants to fix this, or just want to lend moral support, I would love to hear from you. ?
