<cfpdfform> errors after migration from CF8 to CF9

[doncx]

On a shared server at Newtek, I have been using cfpdfform for two years to populate PDF forms from xml files.

After moving to a CF9 server, we started getting a lot of errors during that operation.

Not always, but quite often.

Here are the details from <cfcatch>.  I cannot find the error message through google at all.

Type:
Application

Message:

An exception has occured in the processing of PDF forms.

Detail:

The PDF document is not recognized as a valid PDF document.

The PDF document is indeed valid and has been used for two years successfully.

What's up?  Any ideas?

Need help!

Thanks

I remember there were many issues with cfpdfform when CF 9 came out. Why don't you installed all the updates and hot fixes.

The source attribute of cfpdfform is either a path to a PDF file or the byte array representation of a PDF document. One way to obtain the byte array is as follows

<cfpdf action="read" source="path_to_pdf" name="pdf_doc">

<cfset pdf_byte_array = tobinary(pdf_doc)>

So you have a choice between <cfpdfform source="path_to_pdf"> and <cfpdfform source="#pdf_byte_array#">. Do these both fail?
