Issue with Changes (?) to CFDocument and a background image.

[Les Mizzell]

Afternoon,

Have an older application that's using  cfdocument to push a pdf to the 
user. Last time I checked the app, it was working great, but it's been 
awhile and since then the server has been upgraded to CF 10.

The pdf is basically a collection of business cards. A card consist of a 
pdfCARD.gif "card" background image with text layered on top.

So when it was working, the pdfCARD.gif was showing behind all the text 
properly and you ended up with a page that looked exactly like rows or 
business cards.

Since the upgrade, the image is still being called, but you only see 
JUST a few pixels of it to the right and bottom of the "cards".
It's like everything layered on top of the backgroup is opaque. Setting 
transparencty doesn't work, screwing with the z-index of everything 
doesn't work. Duh ... three hours later and I'm still scratching my head.

I'd like to be able to fix this instead of having to completely rewrite 
the app to use cfpdf (which eventually I will do, but I want to be able 
to bill for it and not have it counted as a "bug" fix!)

Ideas?

"Card" div with the background image is like:
#PDFCARD {
width: 136px;
height: 170px;
margin: 0;
float: left;
background: url("img/pdfCARD.gif") left top no-repeat;
text-align: left; }

Using cfdocument is thus:


One card is basically:

   IPO
   
   #makePDF.cardNAME# 
   #makePDF.cardMISC# 
   #makePDF.cardDESC# 
   
   #makePDF.dsp_industry#
   Pending
#MonthAsString(makePDF.cardMONTH)#
#makePDF.cardDAY#, 
#makePDF.cardYEAR#

Re: CF 404 handler non being invoked on IIS

[Russ Michaels]

Do you have iis6 compatibility mode installed? Rgis can cause odd behaviour.
If so remove all connectors, then remove iis6 mode then recreate connectors

I'm trying to make do with using a custom 404 handler in IIS but the
requested template variable in CF resolves to to 404 handler rather than
the url of the requested page.  This is getting complicated as this is only
a work around for local development and I don't want to change to much and
break the live site.

Does anyone have any other pointers on how I can get this working like the
live site?

I can't believe that it is this problematic to get CF to be passed the 404
error and invoke the onmissingtemplate.  What changed so drastically in iis
8 and cf11 that something so basic is so broken?
