Re: Anyone using CFPDF/CFPDFFORM to deliver personalized PDFs?
It has been a very long time but a number of years ago, I did a college application in PDF format. The PDF was already defined by the college and the format couldn't change. What I did was go into the PDF and make all of the answer sections form fields. Then, obviously, created a web form to gather all the answers. Once the form was submitted, all of those answers were used to generate a PDF answer file. The two files together populated the PDF with all the answers. It was tedious work since all the answer fields needed to match the PDF field names exactly (it was a huge application) but once that was done, it worked like a champ. It was all native CF code in (if I recall) CF6.

CFPDFform
I posted yesterday about using CFPDFForm and iText, but it kind of got pushed to the side with all the CFBuilder chat. My question now is what is the best practice when using CFPDFForm to create a PDF? If I specify a destination the PDF is created and the form data is there, but it appears the PDF is not flattened. If I open the PDF in Acrobat make no changes and try to close the document Acrobat asks if I want to save it. It is like the PDF made by CFPDFForm is not flattened or complete. I had to run CFPDF flatten=yes after my CFPDFForm code to get iText to play well with the PDF. Is it best practice to use CFPDF to flatten a PDF made by CFPDFForm? It really slows down the page run time if I add it. Thanks, Cha ~| Want to reach the ColdFusion community with something they want?

CFPDFForm and iText signature
I am using CFPDFForm to populate a PDF form with data from a database and save it to the server. This works fine. I open it and the data is in the PDF. I added another step to the CFM page that after CFPDFForm saves the file I run iText to apply a signature to the PDF and flatten the form. I open the new PDF with the signature and all my form data is gone. Only the signature is on the PDF. I thought maybe it was a timing issue that CFPDFForm was not saving the file before iText got a hold of it. This is not the case. I can take the CFPDFform generated PDF and only run the iText code on it and the form data is never retained. Only the signature is on the PDF. I opened the PDF with form data in Acrobat and did a save. Ran my iText code on it and the form data and signature was on the PDF. I am baffled. I dont understand why when I run the iText signature code that the data put into the form by CFPDFForm would be deleted. Ideas?

Using CFPDFFORM, Data going into PDF Form Fields is mis-aligned or cut off...
Interesting problem. CFPDFFORM works wonderfully for the most part, except when it does what it's supposed to do: insert data into pdf forms. I'm finding that often times, letters like q, y, or other letters that hang a bit, get cut off. Additionally, alignment seems screwy. Many times a form is perfect in PDF form, but then when CFPDFFORM inserts data into that form, the data is mis-aligned and has a different placement than it did in the actual PDF. On that second issue, if you tab through those form fields when in the browser, they jump all over the place as you tab in and out of the fields. I see no way to adjust this behavior in the tag's docs. Is this a known issue? The PDFs are created with Adobe Professional 7, but displayed in Adobe Reader 8 via the browser. Very curious if anyone else is having this problem. We have a dozen or more forms automated and all sorts of hacks are in place like stretching form fields or purposely mis-aligning them so that CFPDFFORM's mis-alignment looks closer to how it should look, etc. Thanks! ~| Want to reach the ColdFusion community with something they want?

Re: cfpdfform and PDF Dynamic XML Forms
TJ - Just some random thoughts - 1) if you run cf from the console, do you see any errors in there? An exception stack trace may be helpful. 2) If you put a try/catch around it, and dump the cfcatch, do you see anything special? Sometimes it can show you Java errors you wouldn't otherwise see.

We are replacing PDFs generated by cfdocument with PDF templates developed in LiveCycle Designer, due to the issues we have had trying to get our results to be consistent. I have what I feel is a solid PDF Form template going,and I can populate the form using cfpdfform. The one issue I am having is trying to get flowable content working. If you have worked with LiveCycle Designer you will know what flowable content is. If you haven't, its the ability to allow users to fill in data in a PDF form and the PDF will expand to fit the content. I have this working (flowable content) in the PDF only when I save it as a Dynamic XML Form. I can add data to my form fields and the document expands as expected. This behavior does not occur when saved as a standard PDF Form. From the limited information i have read, this is by design. When I save the document as a Dynamic XML Form and try to populate it with CF I get the following error: An exception has occurred in the processing of PDF forms. '' Pretty vague. Yes, this is even with debugging enabled :) I can't seem to do anything to populate the Dynamic PDF Form without causing this error. What's odd is that I can read the document just fine. I can populate it manually, and a cfdump shows the data as an XML structure (that's good!). I can also use the same method to populate a standard PDF Form, both using XML and cfpdfformparam. The only thing that isn't working is populating the Dynamic XML Form from CF. Can someone tell me if this is unsupported, or if there is a workaround? We sincerely hate the cfdocument method we have been using, cfpdfform has made this so much faster, cleaner and more reliable.

Re: cfpdfform and PDF Dynamic XML Forms
I figured this out. For some reason, when working with Dynamic XML Forms, you must specify overwritedata=true to the cfpdfform tag. The PDFs are now generating correctly. As a side note, when you use Dynamic XML Forms for your PDFs it does not look like you can use cfpdf to flatten the documents. The resulting document, when opened, states you need a newer version of Acrobat to view the document. If anyone knows a way around this it would be appreciated ~| Adobe® ColdFusion® 8 software 8 is the most important and dramatic release to date Get the Free Trial http://ad.doubleclick.net/clk;207172674;29440083;f Archive: http://www.houseoffusion.com/groups/cf-talk/message.cfm/messageid:319319 Subscription: http://www.houseoffusion.com/groups/cf-talk/subscribe.cfm Unsubscribe: http://www.houseoffusion.com/cf_lists/unsubscribe.cfm?user=89.70.4
cfpdfform and PDF Dynamic XML Forms
Hi all, I have been banging my head on this issue for a couple of days and hope someone has some experience to offer. We are replacing PDFs generated by cfdocument with PDF templates developed in LiveCycle Designer, due to the issues we have had trying to get our results to be consistent. I have what I feel is a solid PDF Form template going,and I can populate the form using cfpdfform. The one issue I am having is trying to get flowable content working. If you have worked with LiveCycle Designer you will know what flowable content is. If you haven't, its the ability to allow users to fill in data in a PDF form and the PDF will expand to fit the content. I have this working (flowable content) in the PDF only when I save it as a Dynamic XML Form. I can add data to my form fields and the document expands as expected. This behavior does not occur when saved as a standard PDF Form. From the limited information i have read, this is by design. When I save the document as a Dynamic XML Form and try to populate it with CF I get the following error: An exception has occurred in the processing of PDF forms. '' Pretty vague. Yes, this is even with debugging enabled :) I can't seem to do anything to populate the Dynamic PDF Form without causing this error. What's odd is that I can read the document just fine. I can populate it manually, and a cfdump shows the data as an XML structure (that's good!). I can also use the same method to populate a standard PDF Form, both using XML and cfpdfformparam. The only thing that isn't working is populating the Dynamic XML Form from CF. Can someone tell me if this is unsupported, or if there is a workaround? We sincerely hate the cfdocument method we have been using, cfpdfform has made this so much faster, cleaner and more reliable. I would be happy to provide a copy of my template from LiveCycle Designer as well as a code sample.

CFPDFForm and Ability to Update From Reader Later?
I currently have a PDF form that has had usage rights enabled (in Acrobat under 'Advanced' then 'Enable Usage Rightes'). If I give this form, as is, to someone with only Adobe Reader they can enter info, save it to their desktop, and continue editing again at their leisure. What I would like to do is pre-populate a number of fields of the PDF form based on certain application criteria and THEN email it to a person for additional data entry. However, when I try using CFPDFForm - either by itself to create a new PDF or inserted as a PDF between the CFDocument tags - opening the newly created PDF on a user's machine who only has Adobe Reader give the following message: This document enabled extended features in Adobe Reader. This document has been changed since it was created and use of extended features is no longer available. Please contact the author for the original version of this document. Is the copy produced by ColdFusion 'flattening' the PDF? What is going on? Why can't I populate a section of a PDF form automatically and then pass it off for additional data entry?

You can't make changes with CF's PDF manipulation stuff without breaking Reader Extensions functionality. That's just the way it is, right now. You can do this sort of thing fairly easily with LiveCycle ES; CF only includes a tiny subset of LCES functionality.

Re: CFPDFForm and Ability to Update From Reader Later?
It's just the way it is Not so. Apple Preview Users are able to edit the generated PDF's just fine. This seems to imply a couple things: 1) There is nothing wrong with the structure of the PDF - rather, Adobe Reader is enforcing arbitrary restrictions 2) Would they be doing this to encourage folks to get a LifeCycle license Obviously, having employees using Apple Preview to process forms isn't dependable - I would think a call from Adobe to Apple and that little loophole would be patched up. My biggest confusion is WHY Adobe CF would handle things that way?

Re: CFPDFForm and Ability to Update From Reader Later?
It's just the way it is Not so. Apple Preview Users are able to edit the generated PDF's just fine. Apple Preview is not Adobe Reader. It's a third-party application which can do whatever Apple wants it to do with PDFs. Third-party PDF applications are not constrained by the limitations of Adobe Reader. It is, in fact, just the way it is that if you use CF to manipulate Reader-enabled PDFs, that breaks the Reader Extensions functionality. This seems to imply a couple things: 1) There is nothing wrong with the structure of the PDF - rather, Adobe Reader is enforcing arbitrary restrictions 2) Would they be doing this to encourage folks to get a LifeCycle license Obviously, having employees using Apple Preview to process forms isn't dependable - I would think a call from Adobe to Apple and that little loophole would be patched up. My biggest confusion is WHY Adobe CF would handle things that way? I can't tell you why Adobe does things. I can only tell you how things are. But yes, Adobe Reader does enforce arbitrary restrictions that other PDF applications are free to ignore. And I'm sure Adobe would like everyone to buy LiveCycle ES servers, too. I don't know why CF breaks Reader Extensions functionality; I don't know if it's intentional or just an oversight.
