[cfaussie] CFDOCUMENT rendering
Is there a browser or something i can used to view a HTML document that will accurately show me how CFDOCUMENT will HTML? I am generating some PDF files using HTML and the output looks nothing like how it looks in the browser Steve -- You received this message because you are subscribed to the Google Groups cfaussie group.

Re: [cfaussie] CFDOCUMENT rendering
I have used wkhtmltopdf to do this via cfexecute for at least a few years now. It uses the webkit rendering engine, so basically the HTML will end up like it would in safari/chrome. cfdocument just never worked as well for me. See http://code.google.com/p/wkhtmltopdf/ for more. e.g. cfexecute name="[path]\wkhtmltopdf.exe" arguments="""[path][filename].html"" ""[path][filename].pdf"""/cfexecute There might be a better way so I am interested to see how other achieve this.

RE: [cfaussie] CFDOCUMENT rendering
I seem to recall hearing that the underlying rendering engine is a 3rd party (commercial product) called IceBrowser (http://www.icesoft.com/products/icebrowser.html). I realize most think/say that it's itext, but it's not doing the html rendering: icebrowser is. Itext may then be called to conver that to pdf, I think. It would then be less of a surprise why it may not always be a faithful rendering. :-) That said, it seems worth noting that the CF docs do give some info on what should and should not be expected to render well: http://livedocs.adobe.com/coldfusion/8/htmldocs/help.html?content=Tags_d-e_0 5.html Finally, back to ICEBrowser, while there's no downloadable trial there for you to use, I do see they offer a link to a sister open source IcePDF viewer project: http://www.icepdf.org/. That said, I did some digging around there and it seems that's focused only on rendering existing PDF files, not converting HTML to PDF. I could be wrong. And of course, the version that is built into CF may be quite old. I've not seen the version number documented. Indeed, Adobe hardly mentions this tool being what underlies it (though google icebrowser coldfusion and you'll find some hits discussing it). But hope some of the info above may be helpful. /charlie From: cfaussie@googlegroups.com [mailto:cfaussie@googlegroups.com] On Behalf Of Steve Onnis Sent: Sunday, November 27, 2011 9:24 PM To: cfaussie@googlegroups.com Subject: [cfaussie] CFDOCUMENT rendering Is there a browser or something i can used to view a HTML document that will accurately show me how CFDOCUMENT will HTML?

RE: [cfaussie] CFDOCUMENT rendering
According to the ice browser website, ice browser and all of the products went end of life status a year ago and last product release 2 years ago. When is Adobe gonna get off its b-hind and do something about this? There are soo many open source browser engines out there like webkit for example that will do a much better job, and being that Adobe OWNS Acrobat, you would think they would have done it a lng time ago From: charlie arehart [mailto:charlie_li...@carehart.org] Sent: Monday, 28 November 2011 3:04 PM To: cfaussie@googlegroups.com Subject: RE: [cfaussie] CFDOCUMENT rendering I seem to recall hearing that the underlying rendering engine is a 3rd party (commercial product) called IceBrowser (http://www.icesoft.com/products/icebrowser.html).
