If anyone has been following my posts I am working with a COM object to create PDFs. I place images, text etc on the PDF at exact places (x/y coordinates) using ActivePDF. Now I am reading up on using COM objects and there is the releaseComObject function that I can call to dump the resources of the object. The documentation says I dont have to use it that the garbage collection will eventually clean things up. I want to break my code into a CFC with many functions. CreateBlankPDF, PlaceImage, PlaceText, SavePDF etc. All the time the COM object (probably saved as a session variable) will be activated and my CFC functions will have access to the COM objects methods (at least that is what I want to do, we will see if it works). If the COM object is not killed and I have two people working on the website will their PDFs collide? One user will get their peanut butter in the other users chocolate and one will get their chocolate in the other users peanut butter (reeses cup reference for those youngsters)? I will start breaking it up and try setting it as a session variable and see what happens, but if anyone has any clue let me know. If I cant get the COM object to store as a session or application variable I will probably end up storing the created PDF name as a session variable and each function will go open that PDF and add the image, text etc then save the PDF back down. Probably a safer way of doing things. Thanks, Chad
