Question

Advanced Image Functionality

This may sound off the wall:

I need to take a pdf and display it a person over the internet. I need them
to be able to add an image anywhere they want in that pdf (If I need to
change the pdf to a jpeg or gif, that's fine).

Imagine that they're looking at the image in their browser. They click on a
specific part of the image they want to push a thumbtack (for example) into.
The thumbtack appears on that spot of the image. They should be able to
repeat this several times, so there may end being several thumbtacks on the
image. The image then gets saved that way once they're done.

Any ideas on where to start?

    You may want to search for a javascript/ajax application that may already have this functionality..

    But off the top of my head.. you could do an image map.. and based on the section of the map that they click on, you can use the cfimage tag in cf8 to place text (or miscellaneous images) on top of your original image.

    Once you have the new image rendered - just call the image within your cfdocument tag, and you have your new image and pdf file.

    Just a thought?
