Hi,
I'm using CF10 for Windows to extract png images from a PDF doc.
Here's the code:
cfpdf action=extractimage format=png overwrite=true
source=C:\ColdFusion10\cfusion\wwwroot\dev\myPDF.pdf
destination=#ExpandPath('/images')# /
fyi,
C:\ColdFusion10\cfusion\wwwroot\dev\images folder exists.
Hi,
For CF9 or Railo 3.x, the following code generates extra white space like half
a page at both the top and the bottom for a generated PDF doc when dynamic
content exceeds one page, I wonder if we have a way to trim all these necessary
white spaces. It would be extremely desirable to have

Interesting thought, still not to avail. And I should add, in most cases, the

more than 5 line items the PDF also looks

check, hang on.
Hi,
I bought a standard version of Adobe Coldfusion 8 for $1,299 about three years

use it. If I don't transfer its ownership the money would be wasted. If you
really need cf9, you can still buy this version and
