Here is the sample code. The first PDF file is created just fine, but the rest files are missing background image. Similar issue was reported here Very odd CFDOCUMENT Bug | Raymond Camden's Blog, but I could not find a solution to this issue. Would appreciate any input!

<cfdocument format = "PDF" filename="./docs/#filename#"

overwrite="yes"

localurl="true">

<!DOCTYPE html PUBLIC "-//W3C//DTD XHTML 1.0 Transitional//EN" "http://www.w3.org/TR/xhtml1/DTD/xhtml1-transitional.dtd">

<html>

<head>

body

{

background-image:url('image.jpg');

background-repeat:no-repeat;

}

</style>

</head>

<body>

<tr>

</TR>

#FirstName# #LastName#

</span><br>

for the

</span> <br>

#qNomination.proj_name# Project

</span>

<br>

</td>

</tr>

</body>

</cfoutput>

</html>

</cfdocument>

</loop>

The example I have given you would work. It is all dynamic as I will now show.

In the following example, save the 2 CFM files and the image files in the same directory. Then open testFile.cfm in the browser. That will dynamically create 3 PDFs in the current directory

testFile.cfm

</cfloop>

inc.cfm

<html>

HTML body content of page#idx#

</body>

</html>

</cfdocument>

</cfoutput>

It is, as you say, an old issue. I am surprised that it remains unsolved even in the current version of ColdFusion.

I have found the following workaround.

1) Save the output of cfdocument, that is, this code:

etc.

</cfdocument>

</cfoutput>

as the page inc.cfm, in the current directory.

2) Replace the content of the current page with

</cfloop>

Thanks, BKBK, for your reply. I am not sure if your solution would work though, since I will need to write to the PDF different message and save to a different file during each loop, with the same background. Please advise. Thanks again...
