dynamic pdf creation
Daniel Kessler 30 March 2005 15:23:00
	We have a web page that's difficult to print. It's dynamically created: http://www.hhp.umd.edu/tipping_point/checklist2.cfm Fill in the 10 radio buttons and click the button at the bottom to see the next page. The graphic on the left side (yes/no over and over again) doesn't print on the pc because it's a background image. I do that to make it repeat for the distance of the table it's in. Unfortunately it doesn't print and that's a requirement. So, we'd thought we'd make a pdf of this content, on the fly so that the user can print it - hoping that it works going to a pdf. So...is there any free software for CFMX 6.1 to take a web page to PDF? Our IT hasn't updated to 7 yet, but it looks like that'd do it. If not free, any cost software? Do you think bringing this page to PDF will work? thanks for the help. ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~\| Discover CFTicket - The leading ColdFusion Help Desk and Trouble Ticket application http://www.houseoffusion.com/banners/view.cfm?bannerid=48 Message: http://www.houseoffusion.com/lists.cfm/link=i:4:200490 Archives: http://www.houseoffusion.com/cf_lists/threads.cfm/4 Subscription: http://www.houseoffusion.com/lists.cfm/link=s:4 Unsubscribe: http://www.houseoffusion.com/cf_lists/unsubscribe.cfm?user=13123.11886.4 Donations & Support: http://www.houseoffusion.com/tiny.cfm/54

	3 options off the top of my head:> -HTML2PDF3 custom tag....wrap around HTML to be printed and it creates a PDF >you can serve up via CFCONTENT> -go to SourceForge and look for iText...this is for fancier stuff...so try >option 1 first > -move to CF 7 (but again...try option 1 first...really simple) Agreed, CFMX 7 CFDocument is the best option. In addition to the former suggestions for CFMX 6.1, there is also FOP from the Apache Foundation, although its quite rigid unless you want to dynamically generate FOP tags and layout. It works well if you have a standard presenation layout, see the example in my blog entry: http://www.talkingtree.com/blog/index.cfm?mode=alias&alias=fop And see: http://xml.apache.org/fop/index.html -Steven Erat ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~\| Logware (www.logware.us): a new and convenient web-based time tracking application.

	I turned it on in the browser and that worked, but that's me with my client (PC IE) in hand. Others won't see that. There's no way to do this programmatically is there? I have control over the site, but not the server itself which is controlled by our webhosting and the main reason that we're not CF7 yet.

	Bryan the broken record says "try HTML2PDF3" I am looking into it. I've not used a custom tag before so I don't know much about them. I'm a bit intimidated, honestly, which is hard to say on a programming list.

You must realize in this situation the main reason for a PDF is for a uniform print format. Why generate a PDF at all why not make a Flash Paper instead? See by just going with a custom tag or open source solution you are missing out on an excellent alternative. I agree, at my place, upgrading just for this feature is a bit extreme but if this is an important feature it could be just as rediculous to not upgrade. In my opinion flash paper is a heck of a lot better than PDF...it loads faster, it can be embedded in the page, and it uses something thats on about 98% of computer outs there today, a higher rate than Acrobat read is installed on. Ontop of that the download for flash is about 10x's smaller than adobe's reader.

	3 options off the top of my head:> -HTML2PDF3 custom tag....wrap around HTML to be printed and it creates a PDF >you can serve up via CFCONTENT> This isn't such an easy option - you need to have HTMLDoc on your server, and if you're in a shared hosting environment that can be a bit difficult. Second, HTMLDoc only supports HTML 3.2, no stylesheets etc., just lots and lots of <font></font> and other ugly code. CFMX 7 is a better solution. larry ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~\| Logware (www.logware.us): a new and convenient web-based time tracking application.

	I am looking into it. I've not used a custom tag before so I don't know > much about them. I'm a bit intimidated, honestly, which is hard to say on > a programming list.> Not to worry...we don't bite (often) Here's what you'll need to do: 1) dload tag 2) put the HTML2PDF.cfm file in your cfusion\custom tags directory OR in the same directory as the file that will use it 3) An app named HTMLDoc.exe will need to be installed on the server (ask the webmaster where you're hosted to do this...explain that it creates PDF docs and should not interfere with other hosted sites..they get kinda squirelly about that sort of thing...hehe). 4) If memory serves all you do is wrap and beginning and ending tag (HTML2PDF) along with some attributes (just like other cftags like CFQUERY etc. that you've already used....read the docs that come with the tag for specifics). 5) run the page in your browser and a PDF will be generated....you can add a link to a "printer friendly version" (which links to the PDF). There are other ways to handle this...but let's get your PDF created first Hope that gets ya going Any problems...just ask...we'rer here for ya Cheers Bryan Stevenson B.Comm.

	Bryan the broken record says "try HTML2PDF3" http://www.easysw.com/htmldoc/faq.php?20#20 "HTMLDOC currently supports most HTML 3.2 and some HTML 4.0 elements. HTMLDOC does not support HTML 4.0 tables, attributes, stylesheets, or scripting. HTML 4.0 functionality is currently in development and will be provided in a future release of HTMLDOC. We do not have any estimates or schedules for new HTMLDOC releases available to the public." Has this been updated since the FAQ was written, i.e. is HTMLDOC still limited to very limited HTML support? -- Damien McKenna - Web Developer - Damien.McKenna-fLWfSbbvvT5boGzWXzlD9NBPR1lH4CV8@public.gmane.org The Limu Company - http://www.thelimucompany.com/ - 407-804-1014 #include <stdjoke.h> ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~\| Logware (www.logware.us): a new and convenient web-based time tracking application.

	CFReport and the new Report Builder are enough to sell me on the upgrade. The improved performance is just gravy. -----Original Message----- From: Adam Haskell [mailto:a.haskell-Re5JQEeQqe8AvxtiuMwx3w@public.gmane.org] Sent: Tuesday, March 29, 2005 11:23 AM To: CF-Talk Subject: Re: dynamic pdf creation It's like buying a new car because you like the rearview mirror better than> you current car Dynamic Document generation is a bit bigger than a rearview mirror...It can be major selling point. You must realize in this situation the main reason for a PDF is for a uniform print format. Why generate a PDF at all why not make a Flash Paper instead? See by just going with a custom tag or open source solution you are missing out on an excellent alternative. I agree, at my place, upgrading just for this feature is a bit extreme but if this is an important feature it could be just as rediculous to not upgrade. In my opinion flash paper is a heck of a lot better than PDF...it loads faster, it can be embedded in the page, and it uses something thats on about 98% of computer outs there today, a higher rate than Acrobat read is installed on. Ontop of that the download for flash is about 10x's smaller than adobe's reader.

	That's one of those settings I wish Microsoft would have turned on by default. I wonder if you can create a utility or reg file to flip that switch. Changing the default IE print margins would also be helpful. -----Original Message----- From: daniel kessler [mailto:danielk-e45ueOrobK4@public.gmane.org] Sent: Tuesday, March 29, 2005 10:51 AM To: CF-Talk Subject: Re: dynamic pdf creation I turned it on in the browser and that worked, but that's me with my client (PC IE) in hand.

	3) An app named HTMLDoc.exe will need to be installed on the server (ask the >webmaster where you're hosted to do this...explain that it creates PDF docs >and should not interfere with other hosted sites..they get kinda squirelly >about that sort of thing...hehe). ah well that's a sticking point. I asked them and they said that I can just wait for CF7 which they'll install mid-summer. So I guess that they agree with alot of the posters, ignoring my particular project needs. I understand their point - a shared environment and why install something new when they're going to give that capability soon anyway. Thanks Bryan and all the other posters for your help. Time to talk to the client, I think. ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~\| Logware (www.logware.us): a new and convenient web-based time tracking application.
