CFDOCUMENT- only the first PDF has the background image displayed in a loop

Report · Nov 12, 2015

Here is the sample code. The first PDF file is created just fine, but the rest files are missing background image. Similar issue was reported here Very odd CFDOCUMENT Bug | Raymond Camden's Blog, but I could not find a solution to this issue. Would appreciate any input!

<cfdocument format = "PDF" filename="./docs/#filename#"

overwrite="yes"

localurl="true">

<!DOCTYPE html PUBLIC "-//W3C//DTD XHTML 1.0 Transitional//EN" "http://www.w3.org/TR/xhtml1/DTD/xhtml1-transitional.dtd">

<html>

<head>

body

{

background-image:url('image.jpg');

background-repeat:no-repeat;

}

</style>

</head>

<body>

<tr>

</TR>

#FirstName# #LastName#

</span><br>

for the

</span> <br>

#qNomination.proj_name# Project

</span>

<br>

</td>

</tr>

</body>

</cfoutput>

</html>

</cfdocument>

</loop>

It is, as you say, an old issue. I am surprised that it remains unsolved even in the current version of ColdFusion.

I have found the following workaround.

1) Save the output of cfdocument, that is, this code:

etc.

</cfdocument>

</cfoutput>

as the page inc.cfm, in the current directory.

2) Replace the content of the current page with

</cfloop>

Thanks, BKBK, for your reply. I am not sure if your solution would work though, since I will need to write to the PDF different message and save to a different file during each loop, with the same background. Please advise. Thanks again...

The example I have given you would work. It is all dynamic as I will now show.

In the following example, save the 2 CFM files and the image files in the same directory. Then open testFile.cfm in the browser. That will dynamically create 3 PDFs in the current directory

testFile.cfm

</cfloop>

inc.cfm

<html>

HTML body content of page#idx#

</body>

</html>

</cfdocument>

</cfoutput>
