Itext and CFMX7

[EmmanuelRuiz]

We developed a cfc in order to use itext and generate pdf forms on the fly on a CF6.1. We have now setup a new server with CFMX7 and promoted our applications on CF7.0 The cfc no longer seems to work under CF7. Are there any known issues with regard to itext or tweaks that need to be made? I noticed that a new class shipped with CFMX7. Trying to install a refactored itext.jar did not solve our problem. The pdf file is generated but data is no longer passed.

This is the cfc we use: http://www.reactivevision.com/coldPDF.txt

"no longer seems to work" means? what version of itext were you using before?

that should actually work but will break all the cfdocument stuff.

Paul,

What about using this fix: blog.internetdatabases.com/?p=7

I did try it but to no avail.

Why not just use the cfdocument tag to generate PDFs on the fly? Too much
conversion?

Here's the answer: The code contained cfbreak tags that were working with CFMX6.x (That was a bug in itself) and the issue was rectified with MX7, thus the cfbreak tag broke the loops within the code.
