Question
CFDocument, pdf and justify, oh my!
I can't get justified text in my PDF. I read around the
internet that this was a known problem in version 7 all releases,
but was supposed to be fixed in version 8. Here is an example of my
code:
<cfdocument format="pdf" filename="c:\TestPDF.pdf" overwrite="yes">
<DIV align="justify">Text of paragraph 1.</DIV>
<p align="justify">Text of paragraph 2.</p>
<p style="text-align:justify">Text of paragraph 3.</p>
<p style="text-align: justify"> Text of paragraph 4.</p>
<table><tr align="justify"> <td align="justify">Text of paragraph 5</td></tr></table>
<table> <tr align="justify"><td>Text of paragraph 6.</td></tr></table>
<table> <tr> <td align="justify">Text of paragraph 7.</td></tr></table>
</cfdocument>
All paragraphs in the pdf are left aligned. If I changed "Justify" to any other option, Right, Left or Centered, the paragraphs do correspond. Below is the full version of my code so you can see I am in fact using enough text for it to be "justified". What do I need to do to make this happen?
<cfdocument format="pdf" filename="c:\TestPDF.pdf" overwrite="yes">
<DIV align="justify">1. This is the first paragraph. This is an amount of text equal to about a paragraph. This is for testing purposes only. I need enough text to fill four or five lines.
