we have problems with PDFs created with cfdocument (CF 11) and the Microsoft Edge Browser.

Edge shows only a white page.

Here is the Link to a Sample Document, please try it on Edge:

https://unimedia.ag/Rechnung.pdf

The same PDF, but opened and saved with Acrobat DC.

This PDF is shown in Edge

https://unimedia.ag/Rechnung2.pdf

What can we do to create compatible PDFs also for Edge with cfdocument?

Thanks in advance
Herbert

    Please show example code used to create the PDF document. That way we can try it in our environment and see what result we get.

    Cheers

    Hello Eddie,

    we use <cfpdf action="ADDWATERMARK to merge our letterhead with the created content from cfdocument to our final invoice PDF.

    <cfpdf action="ADDWATERMARK" destination="#application.docpath#\fbRechnungen\Rechnung_FB#dateformat(redatum, "yy")##dateformat(redatum, "mm")##dateformat(redatum, "dd")#-#id#.pdf" source="mydocument" copyfrom="#application.docpath#fbDocs\RE_background_INT.pdf" opacity="10" overwrite="Yes" showonprint="Yes"></cfpdf>

    Here is our letterhead:

    Are you saying that if you don't add the watermark then the resulting PDF works correctly in MS Edge?

    Cheers
