cfdocument with pdf format never ends...

[Guest]

Hello,

I'm trying to output a document in pdf format using cfdocument. However, the page never finishes. I eventually have to close the page manually.

My code is as follows:

Does anyone have any ideas as to what might be wrong?

Thanks,

I'll suppose you realize that cfdocument simply takes a PDF "snapshot" of the content of the tag. Hence, even if your code works, it will not display the HTML from the included file. Take even an intuitive alternative like


<cfsavecontent variable="content">
<cfinclude template="OrderForm#form.ManufacturerID#.cfm">
</cfsavecontent>
<cfdocument format="pdf" filename="d:\benchmark\pdf\#filename#.pdf" overwrite="yes">
<cfoutput>#content#</cfoutput>
</cfdocument>

It, too, will create a PDF containing the contents of the included file, and store it in d:\benchmark\pdf\. However, as before, no content is displayed on the current page.

The only other issue I can think of is an error in the included file. To eliminate that possibility, verify that the following code runs

<!--- <cfset filename = filename & ".pdf"> --->
<!--- <cfdocument format="pdf" filename="d:\benchmark\pdf\#filename#" overwrite="yes"> --->
<cfinclude template="OrderForm#form.ManufacturerID#.cfm">
<!--- </cfdocument> --->
