My Beta Version is: 25.2.0 20231101.m.2385. Constrained aspect ratio when sizing objects is no longer the default (I must hold shift key). This change is very recent and seems to correspond with the recent update.

I'm still using PS Beta 25.2.0 on Win 11 because I have standard PS crashes (is unstable). Auto constrained proportions has reverted back to legacy mode (requires shift) when sizing images/objects in PS Beta 25.2.0. The "Use Legacy Free Transform" box is not checked in the preferences. Checking the box does not change behavior. Just checking to see if there is any info on this. Auto constrain proportions was working fine in Beta up until very recently. Perhaps something changed in an update? The auto constrain proportions works fine in Standard PS, but for some reason, standard PS is unstable on my computer. It constantly crashes when performing simple tasks like pasting an image from the clipboard. It's not an issue to hold the shift key, but I have gotten used to the auto feature, after using it for years.

At the time I posted this question, I was on a shared server and not able to install apps. I am now in the process of migrating to a private server where I have more control. I have installed both ImageMagick and GraphicsMagick on my server. With regard to converting files, both of these options work great. Very easy to setup and use. These worked out to be excellent solutions for me.

Thank you for the suggestion. It appears there is not a way to apply a custom color to a watermark. I believe only existing PDF and image files can be inserted using CFPDF watermark.

I have been using iText within CF for several years to insert images into existing PDF files, etc. My background is not in coding but I have managed to get my way through it with help from online communities and posts. I'd like to dynamically create a custom background color (user defined) to existing PDF documents. My thought is to add colored rectangles to an existing PDF file to accomplish this. I have searched for a way to add a rectangle through iText or by using a CF tag, but am having trouble figuring it out. I would prefer to use iText but a CF tag would work fine as well. Any help would be appreciated.

Thank you again for the info. I was somewhat aware of the possible dangers, but you have helped me realize that I need to take more caution. I have found another way to do what I was wanting to accomplish that does not access a database table. Btw, I do have custom error pages enabled, so important info is more concealed.

Thank you for the info. I appreciated your response. The table includes calculated loan payments based on a particular interest rate and loan amounts. There is no personal information included in the table and this would be the only table using variable column names. Is it less concerning if there is no sensitive data in the table? To explain further, there are 29 columns of data in the table, but the output can only accommodate 8 columns, so somehow I need to allow the end user to choose which columns they want to be displayed. The user would choose the first/starting column and then the next 7 columns will be selected in order following the starting column. It seems it might be better to rethink my solution...

I would like to display a monthly loan payment chart/table that shows payment amounts for various interest rates and loan amounts. The output table will have 9 columns (the first column will be the user-defined loan amounts) and 32 rows (the top row being the user-defined interest rates). I have created a master database table that is 30 columns by 992 rows and includes all of the payment amounts: I want to allow the user to select a starting interest rate and the increments in which it increases. For example, starting rate of 4.000% and increase increments of .125% (so the top row/header will be 4.000% | 4.125% | 4.250% | 4.375% | 4.500% | 4.625% | 4.750% | 4.875%). Additionally, the user would define the starting loan amount and the increments in which it increases (so the left column might be $200,000, $210,000, $220,000 and so on). I'm trying to accomplish an output like this: I have been using CF for a number of years, but my knowledge is limited to more simple functions. I started putting together a query, etc. and realized that this extends beyond my knowledge. I am collecting the variable data from the user in a form. I can define the 8 interest rate columns and 31 loan amount rows, but I'm not sure what to do after that. Here is what I started with but wasn't getting the results I'm looking for: <cfset IntRate1 = #FORM.StartRate#> <cfset IntRate2 = #IntRate1# + #FORM.RateIncr#> <cfset IntRate3 = #IntRate2# + #FORM.RateIncr#> <cfset IntRate4 = #IntRate3# + #FORM.RateIncr#> <cfset IntRate5 = #IntRate4# + #FORM.RateIncr#> <cfset IntRate6 = #IntRate5# + #FORM.RateIncr#> <cfset IntRate7 = #IntRate6# + #FORM.RateIncr#> <cfset IntRate8 = #IntRate7# + #FORM.RateIncr#> <cfset LoanAmt1 = #FORM.StartLoanAmt#> <cfset LoanAmt2 = #LoanAmt1# + #FORM.LoanAmtIncr#> <cfset LoanAmt3 = #LoanAmt2# + #FORM.LoanAmtIncr#> <cfset LoanAmt4 = #LoanAmt3# + #FORM.LoanAmtIncr#> ... <cfset LoanAmt31 = #LoanAmt30# + #FORM.LoanAmtIncr#> <cfset List = "'#LoanAmt1#','#LoanAmt2#','#LoanAmt3#','#LoanAmt4#',...'#LoanAmt31#'"> <CFQUERY NAME="tabledata" DATASOURCE="dbds" username="username" password="passw"> SELECT LoanAmt, #IntRate1#, #IntRate2#, #IntRate3#, #IntRate4#, #IntRate5#, #IntRate6#, #IntRate7#, #IntRate8# FROM table WHERE LoanAmt IN (#PreserveSingleQuotes(List)#) </CFQUERY> I'm having trouble getting the loan amount to output since I am using the variables for selecting the column names. I'm hoping there is a simple way to accomplish what I'm trying to do. Any assistance will be appreciated.

So, I have isolated it to the PDF form fields and/or file. When I use the datasheet.pdf file, the apostrophe shows. So, I copied the "title" form field from the datasheet.pdf and pasted it into my PDF, and the apostrophe disappears. Then, I copied and pasted the "name" form field out of my PDF document into the datasheet.pdf file and in my form field the apostrophe is absent, but in the "title" form field, the apostrophe shows. So, that leads me to believe it is the form field that is the issue. I have checked the settings for both form fields and they look to be the same. I checked the version of the PDF files, both are version 1.6 (Acrobat 7.x). I'm at a loss, unless the forms I create with Acrobat version 7.1.0 are somehow the root of the problem.

Here is the complete results of the test: 74 = J 101 = e 102 = f 102 = f 32 = 79 = O 39 = ' 77 = M 97 = a 108 = l 108 = l 101 = e 121 = y So, the code works on your server, but we don't know if our configurations are the same. By default, my fields are setup as "latin1_swedish_ci" collation and latin1 character set, but I have also tried "utf8_general_ci" collation and utf8 character set with the same results. I am using Acrobat 7 (Version 1.6) to create the PDF files. And, iText version 2.1.0 is what my host has installed on the server. The code I posted is not exact with regard to the variable names, but it is the same amount of code. There is not any additional code. I think it makes sense to test your files on my site's server to see if the same results are rendered, if you'd be willing to share them. I think there is a possibility that our servers are configured differently. If your code works on my server, then I can examine the two sets of code for differences. If your code doesn't work on my server, then we know it is an issue with the server or its configuration.

Were you able to get it to display correctly on your server with your test? It's just a regular apostrophe, not a "smart" apostrophe. I added it to the database with a regular input form (by typing the ' key, not pasting it from another program). I am aware that I don't need the cfoutput tag, but in the regular script, I have many variables and it was more efficient at the time to write it that way. Thank you. I appreciate your time and assistance.

I'm quite sure it is a single quote. I will try to run the test (I'm not that fluent in CF scripting). I decided to test cfpdfform and the result displays correctly with that. I may go that route for changing the text fields and continue to use iText for the rest if I can't get iText to display correctly.

Below is sample code. I also created a page that correctly displays the data (with apostrophe) on a standard webpage and with a link to the iText generated PDF file (that drops the apostrophe): www.accountmembers.com/register/name.cfm You will need to create two PDF files each with a text field labeled "name" (case-sensitive). One will be the input file and one will be the output file. <CFQUERY NAME="inputdata" DATASOURCE="xxxxxx" username="xxxxxxx" password="xxxxxxxxx"> SELECT fullname FROM agents WHERE ID = 'xxxxx' </CFQUERY> <cfoutput query="inputdata"> <cfset fullname = "#fullname#"> </cfoutput> <cfset inputFilePath = expandPath(".") &"\folder\filenamein.pdf"> <cfset outputFilePath = expandPath(".") &"\folder\filenameout.pdf"> <cfscript> reader = createObject("java", "com.lowagie.text.pdf.PdfReader").init(inputFilePath); fos = createObject("java", "java.io.FileOutputStream").init(outputFilePath); stamp1 = createObject("java", "com.lowagie.text.pdf.PdfStamper").init(reader, fos); acrForm = stamp1.getAcroFields(); acrForm.setField("name", fullname); stamp1.setFormFlattening(true); stamp1.close(); fos.close(); </cfscript> <cflocation url="folder\filenameout.pdf">

I create PDF files using iText. I insert variable data from a MySQL database into form fields (in an existing PDF file). I have an entry in the database "O'Malley" and (only on the output PDF file) the apostrophy is dropped, resulting in "OMalley". The name displays correctly in the database and in online cfm pages. All other special characters that I have tried display correctly in the PDF files as well as online pages. Any assistance would be appreciated.

Aegis,
Thanks a lot for providing me with the code example. I
appreciate it, but...
Late last night I figured out a optimum solution using iText.
Someone had referred me to iText and after searching this forum, I
found some sample code that I modified to work for my operation,
and it works perfectly! Basically, you need to have two identical
PDF files on your server: One to enter the data into and then
another to that becomes the new file with the saved data (iText
doesn't just overwrite the existing PDF file, you need to save it
to another file with a different name than the original or master
file.) BOTH files must be on the server or the operation won't
work.
Below is the topic I found with the sample iText code (1st
reply by mxstu). I just added the cfheader and cfcontent tags on
the end to force the download of the new PDF with the variable data
entered in.

stpaz,
cfcontent doesn't help me once the unprotectable URL is
revealed, because then someone can bybass the cfm page (and
therefore the security features).
Do you (or does anyone) know of a way to insert the variable
data into the PDF without displaying it, and then save it to the
web server? If so, then I could use cfcontent to force download
(send the file) and then once the file is sent, delete it from the
web server. Does anyone know if that is possible?
Aegis,
Thank you for offering your assistance. I'll try your
suggestion. That sounds like my best option for now. Although, I'm
a CF novice, so it might take me a while to figure out how to make
it all work with the fdf code, etc. Any extra help you can offer
(code examples and instructions) would be appreciated.

I have been using cfcontent to protect static PDF templates
(by forcing a download), but now that I am entering variables with
FDF, I don't know how to protect the template, because the actual
URL is displayed. Therefore, there is the chance a non-paying
member could access the items for free by punching in the URL
address.
Is there anything I can do that will allow me to enter the
variable data and then force a download, or is there a way to mask
or conceal the actual URL?
