Wow I just went though this exact same problem. We tried everything, including posting to this list for help. Unfortunately we have not been able to come up with a solution and will probably end up converting to CFDOCUMENT.
Are there any images referenced in your html? That seemed to be the cause of most of our hang ups. Without the images in there, htmldoc would produce the PDF *most* of the time, the only other time it would fail was on a very large text only report. If you are using images, are they from cfchart or static images? If you are using cfchart images, make sure you are using the name attribute and then writing the data to disk - don't use cfhttp to grab the graphs. Changing the referenced images from JPGs to PNGs helped a lot. The only thing not working now is our one very large text report. -Ryan E C list wrote: > Hey Ryan- The cf_html2pdf works based on htmldoc.exe. > And seems to be the > root of the problems I am having with making my label > pdfs in CF7.
