We've recently upgraded our production servers from CF9 to CF11 and are looking into the CFHTMLTOPDF tag to replace the existing CFDOCUMENT.
However, upon testing, CFHTMLTOPDF does not show page-break's correctly with the page-break-after:always CSS rule. See code below :
<cfsavecontent variable="x">
<html>
<head>
<style type="text/css">
p {page-break-after: always;}
</style>
</head>
<body>
<p>blah</p>
<p>blah blah</p>
</body>
</html>
</cfsavecontent>
<cfhtmltopdf name=y pagetype="A4"><cfoutput>#x#</cfoutput></cfhtmltopdf>
<cfcontent reset="yes" type="application/pdf" variable="#ToBinary(ToBase64(y))#">
The page breaks show correctly when generating PDF using CFDOCUMENT.
<cfdocument name=y format="PDF" pagetype="A4"><cfoutput>#x#</cfoutput></cfdocument>
What is the point of CFHTMLTOPDF if it is being advertised as a feature that generates "high quality" content but it cannot even generate content formatting properly?
Will this bug be fixed in the CFHTMLTOPDF tag?
Tested on : CF11 Update 7 / Windows
