Is it Possible: CFPDF or PDFs
Hi folks - I am scouring the web trying to find examples or a discussion on whether or not Coldfusion 9 can actually write to an existing PDF. I have a pre-made PDF form, and I just want to write data to different cells. I have Acrobat so I can define the text boxes, but now I am trying to figure out how to actually place the details. Is it Possible to do this?

I'm reply to my own post. It looks like CFPDFFORM will be the answer. I will investigate this and see what I come up with.

You can also look into DDX as that has a lot more power than the standard PDF tags does.

You don't need to 'scour the web' to find that answer, just read the docs. The answer is yes, you can use CF to populate a PDF form. http://www.cfquickdocs.com/cf8/#cfpdfform Brook -Original Message- From: Doug Ford [mailto:doug.e.f...@gmail.com] Sent: January-25-11 4:21 PM To: cf-talk Subject: Is it Possible: CFPDF or PDFs Hi folks - I am scouring the web trying to find examples or a discussion on whether or not Coldfusion 9 can actually write to an existing PDF.

Ok write, I must admit I took that as actually add new pages not to populate forms. But yeah if you need to add pages look at DDX.
