We do it all using cfdocument to create the PDF.  Took a bit of stuffing
around to make it sharp but we did do it.

You can control the scaling that occurs in the PDF conversion and by
choosing the right fonts then it comes out pretty good.

Let me know if you want any more info.

  I have a job where i need to populate some pdfs with data which is fine,
 i can do that by injecting some fields with the information but i need to
 insert some graphs and this is where i am hitting a wall.  In the past when
 i have wanted to do this i would have an image and insert it like that but
 the quality isnt the best.  The PDF is a financial report and it needs to be
 pretty sharp.

 Any suggestions on how i might be able to achive this?

 So far i am looking at some way to create an inDesign file which can import
 data and export the pdf from that.

 Steve

[cfaussie] PDF Generation

2008-11-26 Thread Scott Thornton

Hi,


I think Crystal reports is a powerful tool without any real competitors. It 
works great on stored proc, views and linked table.. and I don't know how 
people really develop 'reports' without it.. I think we have over 300 or so on 
the application I work on..

 we just found the set-up rather difficult and finnicky.. we have a reached a 
stage where it just works, but I am not game to touch it...

we used to use the ActiveX report viewer but ran into problems about 4 years 
ago when IE started being locked down and computer policy type access stopped 
the control being installed unless an administrative account is used..  we now 
export reports to pdf and stream them to the browser via some voodoo I don't 
understand.. we probably do it a very strange out dated way I have to admit..

I would love to see how yo go about calling reports...

cheers,
