Fonts are not embedding in CFRB10, and CFRB11 reports it is still version 10??

forums_noreply@adobe.com — Thu, 02 Oct 2014 16:06:07 GMT

So, I have a report built using CFR Builder 10 with the fonts all marked as "embedded font" in order to make the report look as it should. However the fonts default to Helvetica when it generates.

So - I need to know why this is not working properly, since it should. All the HELP notes is that the PDF file will be larger with embedded fonts, which everyone should know already.

Second : I upgraded to CFRB11 to see if that issue was fixed, but when it opens it looks the same as CFRB10 and the HELP/ABOUT menu shows it is still version 10?? Is this just a bug or is Adobe pawning off version 10 as version 11. It should be a new version with the new CF version since it would need to include new functions etc, as well as have any issues fixed since version 10, of which there were a few.

Any ideas on either - or response from ADOBE?

I miss Macromedia, at least they always had staff members answering forum posts often.

Why isn't Report Builder embedding the fonts???

forums_noreply@adobe.com — Sun, 21 Sep 2014 02:31:18 GMT

I have a report built with all the label and fields all set to use Calibri and to embed the font. Yet when it shows the text in the rendered PDF file, it is not Calibri (or anything close)

All Report Builder help tells me is that when we embed the font, the file size will be bigger - no duh! But it's not even doing it.

Creating a report that has specific sizes and looks in mind can't be done unless the font embeds, so how do I fix this??

It's really starting to piss me off!

What if I want the Report Header on every page?

forums_noreply@adobe.com — Wed, 07 Mar 2012 21:18:51 GMT

Is there a way to tell Report Builder to have the main report header show up on every page in CF Report Builder 9? There doesn't seem to be any property in the property viewer when you select the main header that tells it to do that. The secondary header shows on every page but I can't seem to find anything in that set of properties that is set any different than the main header section is.

Any help would be appreciated.

Thanks.

Missing Template handler w/o Admin Access?

forums_noreply@adobe.com — Fri, 05 Dec 2008 18:19:14 GMT

I know we can create custom error messages / templates for general processing errors etc, but is there some type of magic template that can be used to show if a CFM file is missing altogether? or maybe an undocumented function to assign it?

I know we can do this inside CF Admin itself (missing template handler), but we don't have access to that on the shared server the client is using.

The standard/custom 404 files only get triggered by non-CFM pages, so we can't use them either.

Any ideas?

Thanks in advance.

CFCalendar

forums_noreply@adobe.com — Fri, 05 Dec 2008 21:50:13 GMT

There is a way to specify date a date range so you can block off dates in the calendar that can not be chosen, but this seems to be somewhat lacklustre in design since I know of very few calendar applications where there would only be a single date range that was unavailable.

Is there a way to configure multiple date ranges to restrict?

CFFORM - Accordion - onclick possible?

forums_noreply@adobe.com — Fri, 29 Feb 2008 18:29:21 GMT

I have built a CFFORM using the Accordion Flash layout and I woudl like it if I could run a javascript command on that page when each accordion form group header is clicked.

I can get links contained in that form group to run commands, but the ideal situation would be that a command can run when I click on the group header so it can change DIV contents elsewhere on the page to match the group chosen.

Thanks in advance.

Controlling panel reloads in Accordion Flash form

forums_noreply@adobe.com — Mon, 18 Aug 2008 19:59:18 GMT

Does anyone know if there is a way to have the content of a panel refresh (or change the cource entirely) without having to reload the entire form?

I can so this using javascript on an AJAX style tab layout so I can reload or change the content in a tab panel, but I don't seem to see any way to cause one of the accordion panels in the flash form to reload or change URLs - at least not w/o reloading the whole form.

Ideas?

Thx

Can't install D11 on ANY Vista computers

forums_noreply@adobe.com — Sat, 26 Apr 2008 16:29:46 GMT

I have 3 different computers running Vista here, and the D11 trial will not run on any of them! ( Vista 32 Ultimate, Vista 64 Ultimate, and Vista 64 Premium Home)

** The 32 bit version doesn't even have any other Adobe stuff on it.

If I don't run it as Administrator I just get a message box that says that Licensing has stopped.

If I run it as Administrator I get the splash screen that asks for the serial or allows me to select to run as trial. When I choose the trial selection it says it can not load the trial information and takes me back to the screen asking for teh serial number but the trial choice is greyed out.

This is ludicrous that Adobe would release a product that is not even ready for production yet - I am not the only one seeing this issue with Vista computers and Adobe seems to be sweeping the problem under the rug.

Has anyone ever had it run properly under Vista?

CF8 on IIS7 (x64) Vista Home Premium

forums_noreply@adobe.com — Wed, 27 Feb 2008 21:52:28 GMT

I know that CF8 is not officially supported on x64 systems ( dumb of Adobe for a new product) but I do know that people out there have been getting CF8 ( and CF7) to work on 64-bit versions - I just can't seem to get it to work.

- I have installed IIS7 and made sure the ASAPI and CGI modules are available ( they are not installed by default on non-server systems).

- I have configured the app Pools to run both 32-bit and 64-bit applications ( new in IIS 7) based on Microsoft's information.

- I manually set up a ScriptMap to the CF dll as noted in the connector instructions, using *.cfm as the extension

- I configured the CF ASAPI extension to be allowed under CGI & ASAPI configurations

When I try to load the CF Admin, I get what appears to be an ASP/.NET error page that says it has a 500 error and something about not being able to call some command against the CF ASAPI extension

Is there a better guide out there for getting CF8 to run on the 64-bit version of IIS7??

In case it matters, I am installing the CF8 demo version.

Mac PPC vs Intel?

forums_noreply@adobe.com — Sat, 03 Nov 2007 21:25:13 GMT

Just a quick inquiry to anyone who may have done hybrid projects lately.

I develop on Windows and only have an Intel Mac Mini for testing. In fact, everyone I know ( all 2 of them) with a Mac has an Intel machine and not a PPC version. We are only concerned with OSX 10.3 and higher due to the fact that one Xtra has that as a minimum requirement, so I only need to know about that target. Even the city libraries and schools all are running Windows it seems.

Our project runs properly, thus far, on Windows (all 32 & 64 bit bit flavours, including Vista) and it also runs on Intel OSX.

My question is whether or not there would be any reason it would not function on PPC?

All the Xtras we use are either native to Director MX 2004 or are xtras that have been around since before the Intel platform existed for Apple.

The 3rd party apps we are using are : BuddyAPI, OSControl, INM Vizion DB, and Webviewer Xtra

As I said, we have no issues on the Intel side of the equation, so I just want some assurance that the app should work on PPC as well since it has to be sent off for duplication soon and I seem to have nowhere available to test it.

Making [enter] work the same as [return]

forums_noreply@adobe.com — Fri, 02 Nov 2007 14:23:22 GMT

If I had the time I would likely be able to figure this out, but I need to continue on other areas to get this project done and hope that maybe someone has figured this out before.

On our app we have a large text field (scrolling) that is editable and the user enters criteria in it, 1 item per line.

The problem is that some people like using the enter key [numpad] which places a strange return character in the field and causes the function to fail when they submit the final field. For the meantime I have simply captured the enter key [numpad] and stopped it from entering, BUT what I would like to do is have a script capture the enter key [numpad] and have it enter a proper line return the same way the return key [main keyboard] does.

So far, any attempts at this in my "on KeyDown" function has failed.

Can anyone point me in the right direction?

Thanks.

MIAW in OSX 10.4 Intel

forums_noreply@adobe.com — Wed, 24 Oct 2007 18:21:50 GMT

I have an application that opens a MIAW at the onset, but it is invisible. We do this so the window does not have to load each time it is called, we never actually "forget the MIAW" we just close it.

My problem is that on our OSX test machine (OSX 10.4 Intel Mac Mini) the MIAW always shows up as a white square and never disappears. When the MIAW is called and opened, it appears as normal, but when it is closed it goes back to being a white square.

Admittedly we have only ever developed PC applications, as there has been no request by any client to include mac users. This is our first, and we only test on the Mac platforms - we develop on PC.

Aside from the weird MIAW the software runs more-or-less normally on the Mac.

Is this normal on Macs? is there a workaround?

Cold Fusion ODBC Server (CF7)

forums_noreply@adobe.com — Thu, 25 Oct 2007 19:10:31 GMT

Just curious as to why there is a CF ODBC Server that is run be default?

I thought it was necessary to run this to use data connections with CF, but it turns out all of our sites run 100-fold faster and better with the darn thing turned off and there is no issue connecting to data sources!?

So why is it there at all? Just curious more than anything.

specific CACHE-CONTROL abilities?

forums_noreply@adobe.com — Thu, 18 Oct 2007 17:36:58 GMT

This may be more of an actual server setting, but I thought I would check and see if anyone came up with a way to do this through straight CF coding.

On sites that require time-sensitive updates, we always use the CFHEADER and CACHE-CONTROL settings ... it works very well, but I am hoping to make this even more dynamic.

When you use cache-control in its default format, it causes EVERYTHING on the page to not be cached and therefore reloaded. What I am wondering is if there is a way to code CACHE-CONTROL so it will still allow images to be cached, but not the actual HTML page code. Reloading images all the time is not always necessary and it would be nice to save bandwidth wherever possible.

Since caching is done by the browser, I am surprised there is no way to specify what objects can be cached and what cannot with these tags; so I am hoping I am just overlooking something.

Thanks in Advance.

How to configure CF on a 64 bit server

forums_noreply@adobe.com — Mon, 05 Jun 2006 20:51:12 GMT

I am trying to setup CF MX 7 on our new 64 bit Windows 2003 server (IIS 6). When we ran HTML and ASP pages prior to installing CF, it worked fine. After installing CF we kept getting 500 errors and even HTML/ASP wouldn't work.

After uninstalling CF, it went back to working fine.

I looked up the issue on MS's website, and their explanation states that a 64 bit OS is pre-defined to only allow 64 bit extensions to run; but you can run 32 bit extensions if you configure certain settings to allow it.

Unfortunately, as per MS's usual finesse, they neglect to tell you how to adjust the server to allow 32 bit extensions.

Has anyone here set up their 64 bit server for CF yet? If so, can you give me an idea on how to reconfigure the server so 32 bit extensions will work?

Thx in advance.

Flash Grid in Director

forums_noreply@adobe.com — Sun, 25 Mar 2007 15:24:48 GMT

In the past we have only created software for Windows using Director, so we had a ton of options for grid controls.

Now, we have been asked to port one software to Mac as well. This reduced our choices for grids ( that look and work decently in both OS) to pretty much the Flash Grid control available in Director.

It looks pretty good and it works pretty well, but one thing that happens all the time is the columns are always way too small (width) and the text in them gets cramped or wrapped. The user always has to manually drag the column widths so they can read them.

If I search in the help files I can find nothing about the Flash grid control ... are there Lingo commands that will allow me to define the column widths??

Tables/Grids in Mac/OSX???

forums_noreply@adobe.com — Wed, 15 Nov 2006 17:54:00 GMT

As a developer, I have never been required to create any apps that run outside of Windows before.

I now have a client that wants something built to run on OSX as well as Windows.

We usually use Macromedia Director as the choice because it is cross-platform by design and we have never come across anything it cannot do compared to any other development platform.

However, I have come across a puzzling discovery. There does not appear to be an Xtra that will create scrollable tables/grids in Director (that allows both text and images) for Mac/OSX!

There are many options (and I have used many of them with great success) in Windows, but despite the fact that Director is cross-platform nobody has been successful in creating a smooth functioning grid of this nature for Mac/OSX ... in fact they (Xtra devs) clearly state they cannot create one for Mac/OSX

So, I am hoping that somebody out there can explain what they are using with Director to create nice looking scrollable tables/grids that can contain both images and text for their projects in Mac/OSX? There has to be a way to do it, since I really can't see how many types of projects could be built without one.

Thanks for any advice in advance.

VISTA/Longhorn Server Beta 2 + CFMX 7

forums_noreply@adobe.com — Sat, 27 May 2006 19:41:17 GMT

This is a long shot, since Vista Server is not yet a retail ( therefore supported) OS, but I was hoping that maybe some fellow Beta Testers would be around to provide some insight.

I have installed Vista Server Beta 2 ( released May 23) and have setup IIS 7 as required.

I ran the CFMX 7 installer and it said it completed properly, but there are no associations for the script engine or CFM files.

I manually setup a script reference for CFM and CFML pages, similar to how it sets them up in IIS 6 on 2003, using a 2003 server as a reference and I also setup a MIME definition for the files so the server will recognize them as valid server files.

However, when I try to load the Administration page, I get either "page not found" or just some encrypted code (basically showing the template's code as text).

Has anyone successfully gotten CFMX7 to run on the new Vista Beta 2 server yet? If so, what are the tricks?
