So you would have a template for your invoice. The template then gets data added to it and rolled into a pdf.
For simplicities sake I'd go for HTML based templates and use something like http://www.geocities.com/SiliconValley/Lab/5247/ or the ones Toby mentioned. Probably going to have to use cfexecute to do the conversion. Very very rough but here is an idea of how you could set it up. <!--- generate the invoice ---> <cfsavecontent variable="invoice"> <!-- template start--> <html> <body> Date: <cfoutput>#now()#</cfoutput> Amount: <cfoutput>#amount#</cfoutput> <!-- etc... --> </body> </html> <!-- template end --> </cfsavecontent> <!--- write an html file ---> <cffile action="write" file="C:\path\filename.html" output="#invoice#"> <!--- do the conversion ---> <cfexecute name="commands to execute the html to pdf conversion" timeout="10"> <!--- provide the user with a link to the new pdf ---> <a href="path_to_pdf">Download invoice</a> HTH Cheers Mark ______________ Mark Stanton Web Production Gruden Pty Ltd Tel: 9956 6388 Mob: 0410 458 201 Fax: 9956 8433 www.gruden.com --- You are currently subscribed to cfaussie as: [EMAIL PROTECTED] To unsubscribe send a blank email to [EMAIL PROTECTED] MX Downunder AsiaPac DevCon - http://mxdu.com/
