You might use iText if you wanted to use the most recent version. Also, CFDocument obscures the complexity of iText and thus limits functionality that some users might want.

Example <cfdocument format="FlashPaper"> <p>This is a document rendered by the cfdocument tag.</p> </cfdocument> ColdFusion may be using the iText library, but why install the java library on a CF server that already has it. Plus I'm sure using cfdocument is easier to use anyway, and ColdFusion has adapted for the use of ColdFusion inside of it already. :) -----Original Message----- From: James Holmes [mailto:[email protected]] Sent: Thursday, July 02, 2009 11:53 AM To: cf-talk Subject: Re: Using iText with CFML for PDF forms iText is the Java library that powers the cfdocument tag. mxAjax / CFAjax docs and other useful articles: http://www.bifrost.com.au/blog/ 2009/7/2 Robert Harrison <[email protected]>: > > I don't know what iText is, but we've definitely populated PDF forms > from Cold Fusion. > > What are you trying to do, exactly. ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~| Want to reach the ColdFusion community with something they want?
