I had issues with cfdocument a few times with massive pdf's. What I did
was write out the html to a temp url then use
http://code.google.com/p/wkhtmltopdf/
with cfexecute on the web accessible html files, delete the html and
deliver the PDF and it frees up the CF application server ( as it's
executed as a separate process ).
It works really well and was much faster then cfdocument and has loads
of features ( landscape etc ).

Hi Charlie.
I am in CF8. I think the biggest issue with using cfdocument for this
is it just isn't set up to produce documents in CMYK and at 300dpi.

Are you on CF 7 or above? If so, then CFDOCUMENT would seem to be what you
want. Or is there something about that you've considered that doesn't seem
to work?
I realize you say, "Normally I would create a HTML page from a template then
make a PDF of that page", but you don't say how you would do that.
CFDocument would seem to fit the bill. Now, you go on to say, "but I need
the eventual PDF to be as press ready as possible". Is there perhaps
something about that requirement that you may feel doesn't suit CFDocument?
Just trying to help you/others here explore your options.

Subject: [cfaussie] Web to PDF
Hi Guys.
I am doing some research on sending web forms to print and thought some
of you may have already done this.
I have a client (early stages at the moment) who wants to be able to
fill in a web form, upload a few images, and pump out a PDF at the end
of the process. Normally I would create a HTML page from a template
then
make a PDF of that page, but I need the eventual PDF to be as press
ready as possible (he wants to be able to send it directly to a printer
to print off 100 copies or whatever).
Has anyone done this in the past, and if so can you recommend any
software etc. I should look into? I can install software on the server
so I am thinking something that I may be able to install and run from
the command line via cfexecute.
Thanks,
Mark
