Problem with cfdocumentsection cftextarea

Hi,

I am using <cfdocument format="PDF">,

within my <cfdocumentsection> I call another .cfm file which contains

  <cftextarea label="example" disabled="disabled" name="somename" wrap="virtual" message="Your qualifications are restricted to 500 characters" value="#getdata.stuff#" required="no" rows="3" cols="80" maxlength="500" validate="maxlength" validateAt="onBlur"  />

If this textarea contains more then about 50 characters the text dosen't appeare on the pdf.

If the textarea contains just a few words it works fine.

Would you have any idea what this problem could be?

Thanks,Suzanne
