CFDOCUMENT, PDF, and CSS

Report · Oct 19, 2007

Hi folks -

I was wondering has anybody been successful in implementing CFDOCUMENT with PDF and a web page using CSS 1 or CSS 2?

When I display my web page in my browser (IE 6), it renders completely perfect. When I pushed it through CFDOCUMENT, it gets messed up when it is rendered.

I am open to ideas, suggestions, and other creative solutions.

I have already tried CFHTTP, and it won't work because of the tight environment we have in the office.

I can post my code if requested.

Thanks,

Doug

There are hotfixes available for CFDOCUMENT so if you haven't loaded those yet I wouid do that first.

Fordian-Slip,

I have not had any luck myself working with separate css and cfdocument.

However, I have had success using css inline and getting the desired
results.

<p style="font-family:arial; font-size:12px; color: #FFFFFF; etc.>

Hope this helps you out, if not perhaps I don't understand what it is
you are trying to do and seeing your code might provide a clearer
picture.

I have gotten it to work with CSS but for some reason, I need to link the .css file to the page through the import function.

I wrote a chapter in LearnCFInAWeek.com that may be of great help to you: http://learncfinaweek.com/week1/cfdocument/

This works for me:

<html>
<head>
<title>Test mit cfdocument</title>
<cfinclude template="./css/style.cfm"/>
</head>
<body>
<img src="#localUrl("images/pay.png")#" />
<img src="#localUrl("images/prowin.png")#" />
<p id="backky" class="test">Say something</p>
</body>
</html>
</cfdocument>

</cfoutput>

style.cfm

The original question is no longer relevant. It was asked 14 years ago, when CFDocument was still in its infancy. CFDocument has developed substantially since.
