cfpdf font size

Report · Nov 07, 2011

All,

I using the "addheader" part of cfpdf (which works fine) and am trying to increase the font size of the header text. I have successfully been able to change the font family to Arial and make the text bold, but cannot increase the size. I was able to use <cfsavecontent> like so:

<b>Hello World</b>

</body>

</cfsavecontent>

<cfpdf

action="addheader"

source="mergedDoc"

name="myPDF"

showonprint="yes"

overwrite="yes"

text="#headerText#"

opacity="10"

topmargin="0.25"

rightmargin="5">

I've tried various methods, but it will not increase the size. Ideas?

Maybe there is a problem with your css, because adding a font-size should do it:

LARGER TEXT

</span>

</cfsavecontent>

Thanks cfSearching. I've actually used that code before (minus using font-weight: bold), however, my font-size attribute defaults to px instead of pt (using Dreamweaver CS5.5). For whatever reason, it would error out each time I tried it; therefore, I assumed it didn't like the font-size attribute itself.

Looks like cfsavecontent only accepts pt and not px. You think this is a bug? I'm gonna do more testing tomorrow before I push to production, but this seems to work.

Just a guess but cfpdf might be using ddx to create the header. IIRC, ddx only supports a subset of elements and css. So maybe it just does not support the unit "px", only ones like "pt".
