Re: Embedding files in a PDF
Hi Kevin, The CF8 documentation seems to indicate that PDF merging is supported with cfpdf. http://help.adobe.com/livedocs/coldfusion/8/htmldocs/help.html?content=Tags_p-q_02.html From the docs: *Merge PDF documents into an output PDF file* cfpdf*required* action = merge *one of the following:* directory = *directory of PDF files to merge* source = *comma-separated list of PDF source files|absolute or relative pathname **to a PDF file*|*PDF document variable*|*cfdocument variable* cfpdfparam ... *required if directory is specified:* order = name|time *one of the following if cfpdfparam ... is specified:* name = *PDF document variable name* destination = *PDF output file pathname**optional* ascending = yes|no keepBookmark = yes|no overwrite = yes|no pages = *pages to merge in PDF source file* password = *PDF source file password* stopOnError = yes|no*one of the following:* destination = *PDF output file pathname* name = *PDF document variable name* On Wed, Feb 25, 2015 at 6:07 AM, Kevin Parker tras...@internode.on.net wrote: Be grateful for a little advice or confirmation please.

RE: Embedding files in a PDF
Yes but he's talking about arbitrary files I think - supporting documents. I think the first step is to identify what document types you wish to support. If you can specify only PDF's and images for example, you could make this work with CF natively. If you have to do (for example) word doc conversions, then you will need to use a 3rd party jar file or tool to do the conversion to PDF and then merge the results. Doable, but a lot trickier :) -Original Message- From: Michael Grant [mailto:mgr...@modus.bz] Sent: Wednesday, February 25, 2015 8:34 AM To: cf-talk Subject: Re: Embedding files in a PDF Hi Kevin, The CF8 documentation seems to indicate that PDF merging is supported with cfpdf. http://help.adobe.com/livedocs/coldfusion/8/htmldocs/help.html?content=Tags_ p-q_02.html From the docs: *Merge PDF documents into an output PDF file* cfpdf*required* action = merge *one of the following:* directory = *directory of PDF files to merge* source = *comma-separated list of PDF source files|absolute or relative pathname **to a PDF file*|*PDF document variable*|*cfdocument variable* cfpdfparam ... *required if directory is specified:* order = name|time *one of the following if cfpdfparam ... is specified:* name = *PDF document variable name* destination = *PDF output file pathname**optional* ascending = yes|no keepBookmark = yes|no overwrite = yes|no pages = *pages to merge in PDF source file* password = *PDF source file password* stopOnError = yes|no*one of the following:* destination = *PDF output file pathname* name = *PDF document variable name* On Wed, Feb 25, 2015 at 6:07 AM, Kevin Parker tras...@internode.on.net wrote: Be grateful for a little advice or confirmation please.

RE: Embedding files in a PDF
Thanks guys - you're right - file types are quite arbitrary, most likely office documents I would expect.
