CFPDF Thumbnail Quality

[plarts]

First time I tried this tag CFPDF to create images of each pages.

But, the quality result is fully unacceptable. Bad images, and text unreadable.

Loosing time. Why creating such tags ?

I am using CF v9.

Is there progress in next version ?

or is there someting which can be done to get the Quality ?

Also the scale at 100, is very small compared to original PDF.

it seems it does 50% at 100 scale ?

Thanks for any help.

I am vey desapointed.

You are using the hires option, right?

The scale issue is pretty well known, I think, not sure if there's a solution to that.

Rumor has it that ColdFusion 11 (release date unknown) has a completely revamped PDF generation.

Also, you could try using an external Java Class such as IcePDF.

Thanks for your answer, I will look at that link.

I finaly used this UDF : http://pastebin.com/6gmmBT6U

And it is much better. It probably use the same technic as the proposed link.

I am running CF9

i will also see in the Railo side and CFML open source in coming weeks.
