You might want to look at using iText. Here is a CFC that shows some code that uses iText to place images. http://www.reactivevision.com/coldPDF.txt
I have not experimented very much with CFDocument and exact placement of items, but the results I have seen are very inconsistent. I think mainly because you are taking HTML and CFdocument it converting it to PDF. So there is some fudge factor. Have you tried using CSS instead of HTML? With CSS you might get better results because you can position thinks absolute. <div style="position: absolute; top: 96px; left: 20px; border: 2px solid #000000;"> </div> I have also used PDFToolKit from Active pdf in a .Net application to create PDFs. I suppose with CF8 I will be able to use this .net dll... could be interesting. http://www.activepdf.com/ -----Original Message----- From: Arthur.Frey [mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED] Sent: Tuesday, July 31, 2007 1:43 PM To: CF-Talk Subject: CFDocument Help I am trying to create a 2 page document with a custom page size (17x11 inches). The basics of the document are a table that should fill 100% of the document in two columns. Example: Create a new cf page and paste the following code: <cfdocument name="MyPDF" filename="MyPDF.pdf" format="PDF" pagetype="custom" pageheight="11" pagewidth="17" margintop="0" marginbottom="0" marginright="0" marginleft="0" orientation="portrait" unit="in" backgroundvisible="yes" overwrite="yes" fontembed="no"> <cfdocumentsection margintop="0" marginbottom="0" marginright="0" marginleft="0"> <table width="1650" border="0" cellpadding="0" cellspacing="0" bgcolor="#000000"> <tr> <td width="825" height="1050" style="color:#FFFFFF">page 1, column 1</td> <td width="825" height="1050" style="color:#FFFFFF">page 1, column 2</td> </tr> </table> </cfdocumentsection> <cfdocumentsection margintop="0" marginbottom="0" marginright="0" marginleft="0"> <table width="1650" border="0" cellpadding="0" cellspacing="0" bgcolor="#000000"> <tr> <td width="825" height="1050" style="color:#FFFFFF">page 2, column 1</td> <td width="825" height="1050" style="color:#FFFFFF">page 2, column 2</td> </tr> </table> </cfdocumentsection> </cfdocument> <a href="MyPDF.pdf" target="_blank">MyPDF.pdf</a> When you click on the link you will see a pdf generated that is 2 pages long. I need one page. I am going to be filling these two columns with images and text generated from a database, but this basic framework is the key. I have no idea how to build this so it fills in 100% of the page and not overflow onto an extra page. Any help would be greatly appreciated. Even if you can help me learn the height and width of the anticipated PDF at 17x11inches I would be thrilled. I would be happy to send you the origional pdf is that would help anything. ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~| Check out the new features and enhancements in the latest product release - download the "What's New PDF" now http://download.macromedia.com/pub/labs/coldfusion/cf8_beta_whatsnew_052907.pdf Archive: http://www.houseoffusion.com/groups/CF-Talk/message.cfm/messageid:284967 Subscription: http://www.houseoffusion.com/groups/CF-Talk/subscribe.cfm Unsubscribe: http://www.houseoffusion.com/cf_lists/unsubscribe.cfm?user=89.70.4
