Thanks everyone for your replies.
Unfortunetly I am still doing something wrong. I get this error when I run the code: 500 org/apache/batik/dom/svg/ExtensibleSVGDOMImplementation org/apache/batik/dom/svg/ExtensibleSVGDOMImplementation Which is also what I get when I <CFDUMP> MakeImage, Which I thought should show the methods? If I understood this page: http://livedocs.adobe.com/coldfusion/7/htmldocs/wwhelp/wwhimpl/common/html/w whelp.htm?context=ColdFusion_Documentation&file=00001566.htm Note: The cfdump tag displays an object's public methods and data. So maybe I did not do the CLASS PATH corrrectly in CF admin? I entered: E:\batik\batik-1.7\batik.jar E:\batik\batik-1.7\batik-rasterizer.jar .... Or should I go the next level down and map: E:\batik\batik-1.7\lib (+\file.jar) And WOW you guys work late.

That might have been what was messing you up. This worked for me <!--- svg file is in same directory as script ----> <cfobject action="create" type="java" class="org.apache.batik.transcoder.image.PNGTranscoder" name="MakeImage"> <cfset svgFile = ExpandPath("newxml2.svg") /> <cfset pngFile = ExpandPath("newxml2.png") /> <cfset svgURI = createObject("java","java.io.File").init(svgFile).toURL().toString() /> <cfset input = createObject("java","org.apache.batik.transcoder.TranscoderInput").init(svgU RI) /> <cfset ostream = createObject("java","java.io.FileOutputStream").init(pngFile) /> <cfset output = createObject("java","org.apache.batik.transcoder.TranscoderOutput").init(ost ream) /> <cfset MakeImage.transcode(input, output) /> <cfset ostream.flush() /> <cfset ostream.close() /> <cfoutput> <embed src="#svgFile#" width="1024" height="265" type="image/svg+xml" /> <img src="#pngFile#" /> </cfoutput> ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~| ColdFusion MX7 by AdobeĀ® Dyncamically transform webcontent into Adobe PDF with new ColdFusion MX7.
