question about cfdocument when using a header

  • September 19, 2007

When using cfdocument and cfdocumentitem type header, there is about and inch of white space between the header and the body. If I make the topmargin smaller the header is scaled to fit and still leaves the inch of white space. I've tried many different padding and margin attributes for the body and tables but it doesn't change the space between the header and the body.

Does anyone know how to remove the white space?

Thanks in advance for any help!

but Adobe does not monitor these forums for support requests/bugs or
anything like that.

I am not saying they have to answer every problem on here. However, I do expect them to have a free method of communication for bugs and undocumented issues. I am not asking a programming question, I am asking for clearification on a tag that has almost zero documentation. I don't think it is unreasonable for me to have expected some help from Adobe considering...
1. I am on the support section for ColdFusion on Adobe's website.
2. I have already had a response from someone at Adobe to post sample code.
3. I posted the sample code for review.
4. Others are having the same problem.

If we are wrong about this, then a simple post that says there is a solution to your problem if you just read the documentation which can be found here or by contacting support and paying the support fee.

no but time is money. I was burnt on the upgrade to 7 and from just reading these posts I see there are still many problems with this tag on version 8.

I love ColdFusion but I hate the methods of communication between it's developers and it's users.

Hi Aredovian,
Its a bug in header/footer scaling which many people have reported. It has been fixed and hotfix for this should be release very soon. Stay tuned.

Thanks & Regards,
Rupesh

Hi aredivian,

I am experiencing the same problem as yours. There is always about an inch of white space between the header and the body. Have you found out the solution for this? Would you please share? Thanks a lot.

Hey cepsJane, unfortunately, I have not found a solution to the problem. Apparently these forums are pretty useless if you have a question that would require someone from Adobe to contribute. Not just blaming Adobe since this has been a problem with ColdFusion forever.

It's unfortunate that creating a PDF from ColdFusion has never been a complete feature in any version of 7. Doesn't give me much confidence for CF 8.

Which version of ColdFusion are you using?

I've never been able to use anything but <P> in a header or footer. Everything else messes up in some way. Haven't tried anything but <p> in cf8, but I've got another big CF8 CFDocument problem to contend with first.
