Missing ddx processing after upgrade to ColdFusion 2021

Hello Experts,

 

I’ve been succesfully running an application on CF2016 Standard which manipulates PDF files using the <cfpdf action="processddx" …> tag (adding some header / footer / watermark).

After migrating the server to CF2021 everything works as expected under Developer License.

As soon as I register the CF2021 Standard license the DDX processing gets ignored and PDF files remain unchanged. This behavior is reproducible by switching between the "dveloper" and "Standard" license key.

 

Has anybody else encountered this issue?

I wonder whether it is just a bug or a change in the license policy? And if so, where it has been announced - i didn't find any hints on the Adobe website.

 

Thanks a lot,

Peter

Hello Peter,

I am having the same problem now in ColdFusion 2021 Standard. When we migrated from CF 11 to 2021 the "isDDX(#myDDXstring#)" function now returns a value of FALSE. My DDX file could not be more simple but nothing I do with it will pass the isDDX() test.

Did you ever find a solution to this problem, and if so, would you please share it with me?

 

Thank you!

Kristi

    Hello Kristi,

    well, it is more than 2 years ago... at that time (CF2021, update level 0) I've been given a Patch from Adobe support. But as far as I can tell, the fix was later included in Update 1 or Update 2. Since then I did not encounter any more problems with DDX.

    However building a correct DDX string can be a little bit tricky - are you sure, it worked with CF11 before the migration?

    I would just open that as a support ticket right away. I suspect it's been excluded by accident, and most people don't use DDX so it just hasn't been discovered yet!
