Question

Is there a bug in CF8 <cfpdf>?

Further to my random question yesterday about instantiation of objects - I believe I've actually tracked my problem down to a problem with the <cfpdf> tag on CF8 - When I run certain PDF's through the following code

<cfpdf action="processddx" ddxfile="#ddxDir#/readPDF.ddx" inputfiles="#inputStruct#" outputfiles="#outputStruct#" name="ddxVar">

whilst on CF8 I get the following in the dump structure


OUT1failed: PDFM_S20005: Encountered internal error while processing document "DOC1".

Whereas if I run the same file through CF9 - It works perfectly- we aren't moving to CF9 on the production server for a while yet so I need to find out if there is a genuine bug and/or there is a fix available for it as it's causing me some major problems

I've tried looking for the error message online but can't find it referenced anywhere

    I know there was at least one issue with the cfpdf/ddx functionality in Coldfusion 8. So, I would upgrade to CF8.0.1 and install the latest cumulative hot fix.
