We have copied existing CF7 cfdocument' page to a new Coldfusion 8 server and when the pages are run the resulting pdf and flashpaper display 30% smaller on CF8.

Both the Fonts and the images and the tables are all scaled down by about 30% in size. We have a lot of these documents so, we not be able to upgrade, its a real show stopper. Its like the effective display area has been scaled fit into about 70% of the page area.

I have searched for a people reporting the same issues but found no one reporting this. Has anyone seen this and is there a fix

So if that is an issue why are the images 30% smaller as well. Adobe has a problem it would good if they admitted it or gave suggestions on how to get round it.
This page displayed fine under 7 but 8.

First, you shouldn't be using the font tag. It is deprecated in HTML 4.01.
Second, I see no need to nest font tags.

I figured out the font problem. I have CF8 installed on Mac OS X. CF doesn't have arial available to it.

I am also having this problem. It looks like I will have to move to my new hosting environment using CF7. I am also having trouble with my font selection of arial not working.

Thanks Ben. Saddly, two months won't work for me. I'll have to recode the cfdocs :-( If you find out anything as far as realese dates, it would be appreciated.

I was talking to a guy in India and he thinks its a known problem and should be fixed in patch release may be 2 months? I emailed Ben Forta and got this response on 29 Aug, nothing more since:

I'll check with the development team.

I'm having the exact same problem. The only way I've been able to get a form to generate in cfdocument at 100% is to actually use tables with a width="100%". This is forcing me to nearly recode my documents as I had set sizes for everything in CF7. Sure would be nice if the "scale" attribute went of 100%, or if there was a "fit-to-page" attribute.

In some instances I am gatherthing the HTML from an external site. I have no option here to rewrite or adjust the code generating the document.

I can not find any solution to this. Adobe? Any plans for some help here?
