Usage

Use the cfdocument tag to render HTML and CFML output into PDF or FlashPaper format. ColdFusion does not return HTML and CFML outside of the <cfdocument> </cfdocument> pair.

The cfdocument tag can render HTML that supports the following standards:

HTML 4.01
XML 1.0
DOM Level 1 and 2
CSS1 and CSS2 (For more information, see the "Supported CSS styles" section).

The cfdocument tag does not support the Internet Explorer-specific HTML generated by Microsoft Word.Use the following syntax in the filenameattribute to specify an in-memory file, which is not written to disk. In-memory files speed processing of transient data.
ram:///filepath
The filepath can include directories, for example ram:///petStore/tracking/ordersummary.pdf. Create the directories in the path before you specify the file. For more information on using in-memory files, see Working with in-memory files in the Developing ColdFusion Applications.
You can use the src, srcfile , and mimeType attributes to create PDF or FlashPaper output from a specified file or URL. Use the src and srcfile attributes instead of using the cfhttp tag to display the result in the cfdocument tag. When you specify the src or srcfile attributes, do not include any other content inside the cfdocument tag: ColdFusion ignores the additional content. The PDF or FlashPaper document returned by the cfdocument tag overwrites any previous HTML in the input stream and ignores any HTML after the </cfdocument> tag.
You cannot embed a cfreport tag in a cfdocumenttag .
Note: If you notice that the header text is cropped in the cfdocument tag output, increase the value of the marginTop attribute.

Note: The cfdocument will not work as expected if the input statement is type="file". For example,

<input class="entryx" id="Photo" name="Photo" onkeypress="return noEnter(event)" size="40" type="file" value="" />

As a work-around, run the PDFg service from the command line.

Supported CSS styles

The cfdocument tag supports the following CSS styles:

background	background-attachment	background-color	background-image
background-position	background-repeat	border	border-bottom
border-bottom-color	border-bottom-style (solid border only)	border-bottom-width	border-color
border-left	border-left-color	border-left-style (solid border only)	border-left-width
border-right	border-right-color	border-right-style (solid border only)	border-right-width
border-spacing	border-style (solid border only)	border-top	border-top-color
border-top-style (solid border only)	border-top-width	border-width	bottom
clear	clip	color	content (strings, counters only)
counter-increment	counter-reset	cursor	display
float	font	font-family	font-size
font-style	font-weight	height	left
line-height	line-style-type	margin
margin-bottom	margin-left	margin-right	margin-top
outline	outline-color	outline-style (solid, dotted, dashed only)	outline-width
padding	padding-bottom	padding-left	padding-right
padding-top	page-break-after	page-break-before	page-break-inside
position	right	text-align (left, right, and center)	text-decoration
text-indent	top	unicode-bidi	vertical-align
visibility	white space (normal, nowrap only)	width	z-index

Using an image file URL

For optimal performance and reliability, Adobe recommends that you specify a local file URL for images stored on the server. In the following example, the cfdocument tag requests the server for images over HTTP even though the image files are stored locally:

<cfdocument format="PDF"> 

<table> 

<tr> 

<td>bird</td> 

<td><img src="images/bird.jpg"></td> 

</tr> 

<tr> 

<td>fruit</td> 

<td><img src="images/fruit.jpg"></td> 

</tr> 

<tr> 

<td>rose</td> 

<td><img src="images/rose.jpg"></td> 

</tr> 

</table> 

</cfdocument>

Also, in some applications, the browser displays a Red X image error instead of the image in the browser. For better performance, and to avoid Red X image errors, set the localUrl attribute to yes:

<cfdocument localUrl="yes" format="PDF"> 

<table> 

<tr> 

<td>bird</td> 

<td><img src="images/bird.jpg"></td> 

</tr> 

<tr> 

<td>fruit</td> 

<td><img src="images/fruit.jpg"></td> 

</tr> 

<tr> 

<td>rose</td> 

<td><img src="images/rose.jpg"></td> 

</tr> 

</table> 

</cfdocument>

Scope variables

When you use the cfdocument tag, ColdFusion creates a scope named cfdocument. This scope contains the following variables:

currentpagenumber
totalpagecount
totalsectionpagecount
currentsectionpagenumber
ColdFusion lets you use the scope variables inside any expression within a cfdocumentitem tag. For example, you can use the currentpagenumbervariable to place the section name on even pages and the chapter name on odd pages in the header, as follows:

<cfdocument format="flashpaper"> 

<cfdocumentitem type="header" evalAtPrint="true"> 

<cfif (cfdocument.currentpagenumber mod 2) is 0> 

<cfoutput>#cfdocument.totalpagecount#</cfoutput> 

<cfelse> 

<cfoutput>#cfdocument.currentpagenumber#</cfoutput> 

</cfif> 

</cfdocumentitem> 

... 

</cfdocument>

If you define the cfdocumentsection tag within the cfdocument tag, then specify the totalsectionpagecountvariable as follows:

<cfdocument format="pdf"> 

<cfdocumentitem type="header" evalatprint="true" > 

<cfif (cfdocument.currentpagenumber mod 2) is 0> 

<cfoutput>#cfdocument.totalpagecount#</cfoutput> 

<cfelse> 

<cfoutput>#cfdocument.currentpagenumber#</cfoutput> 

</cfif> 

<cfoutput>cfdocument.currentpagenumber :#cfdocument.currentpagenumber#</cfoutput> 

<cfoutput>cfdocument.totalpagecount :#cfdocument.totalpagecount#</cfoutput> 

<cfoutput>cfdocument.totalsectionpagecount :#cfdocument.totalsectionpagecount#</cfoutput> 

<cfoutput>cfdocument.currentsectionpagenumber :#cfdocument.currentsectionpagenumber#</cfoutput> 

</cfdocumentitem> 

<cfdocumentitem type="footer" evalatprint="true" > 

<cfif ! (cfdocument.currentpagenumber mod 2) is 0> 

<cfoutput>if#cfdocument.totalpagecount#</cfoutput> 

<cfelse> 

<cfoutput>else#cfdocument.currentpagenumber#</cfoutput>

</cfif> 

</cfdocumentitem> 

<cfdocumentsection >Example Text 

</cfdocumentsection> 

</cfdocument>

Bookmarks

ColdFusion 9 supports bookmarks. In the cfdocument tag, set the bookmark attribute to yes. Then specify the bookmark name for each cfdocumentsection tag.

The following example shows how to specify bookmarks for document sections:

<!--- This example creates two bookmarks named "Section 1" and "Section 2" in a PDF file. ---> 

<cfdocument format="pdf" bookmark="yes"> 

<cfdocumentsection name="Section 1"> 

<!--- Insert HTML content here.---> 

</cfdocumentsection> 

<cfdocumentsection name="Section 2"> 

<!--- Insert HTML content here. ---> 

</cfdocumentsection> 

</cfdocument>

Handling expressions

If you use characters, < or >, in the cfdocument tag, the output document will not display these characters. This is expected because the characters < and > are delimiters used by a nHTML or an XML tag. The following code will not display < or > in the document.

<cfdocument format="PDF">
<cfoutput>This is a test content whose value is <= 0.89%</cfoutput>
</cfdocument>

Alternatively, you can use < and > to represent the characters.

However, you can use the xmlFormat function to display similar characters. The following snippet will display the characters:

<cfdocument format="PDF">

     <cfoutput>#xmlFormat("This is a test content whose value is <= 0.89")#</cfoutput>

 </cfdocument>

Example

<!--- The following example shows how to use the cfdocument scope variables to generate section numbers and page numbers. ---> 

<cfdocument format="pdf"> 

<cfdocumentitem type="header" evalatprint="true">

Real-world uses of the cfdocument tag

E-commerce order fulfillment system

Your online store needs to automatically generate professional PDF invoices for customer orders. These invoices must include company branding, itemized order details, tax calculations, shipping information, and payment terms. Customers receive these PDFs via email, and accounting keeps copies for records.

Problem statement

Need professional-looking invoices in PDF format
Must include company logo, branding, and contact information
Itemized list of products with prices, quantities, and totals
Tax calculations and shipping costs clearly displayed
Page headers and footers with invoice number and page numbers

Solution

The cdocument tag converts HTML to professional PDF documents, adds consistent branding and page numbers, uses CSS for professional layout and design, and sets margins, orientation, or page size.

Business Intelligence reporting system

Your sales management team needs monthly performance reports in PDF format for distribution to executives, stakeholders, and regional managers. These reports include sales data, charts, performance metrics, and comparative analysis. PDFs are preferred for offline review, printing, and archival.

Problem statement

Need professional monthly sales reports in PDF format
Must include multiple pages with different sections
Require page breaks, headers, and footers
Need to display tables, charts, and formatted data
Reports must be consistent across viewing platforms

Solution

The cfdocument tag provides automatic pagination for long reports, organizes reports into logical sections, controls where pages are split, or adds branding and navigation.

Online training platform- Certificate of completion

Your e-learning platform offers courses and needs to automatically generate professional certificates of completion for students. These certificates must include the student's name, course details, completion date, and an official-looking design. Certificates are emailed to students and archived for verification purposes.

Problem statement

Need professional-looking completion certificates
Must include student and course information
Require consistent branding and design
Should look official for resume/LinkedIn purposes
Need to generate hundreds of certificates automatically

Solution

The cfdocument tag generates certificate-quality documents, creates elegant, branded designs with CSS, or personalizes each certificate with student data.

Service agreement and contract management

Your business needs to generate service agreements, contracts, and legal documents automatically when customers sign up for services. These documents must include terms, conditions, pricing, signatures, and be legally compliant. PDFs ensure documents can't be easily altered after generation.

Problem statement

Need to generate legal contracts automatically
Must include company and customer information
Require terms and conditions, pricing, and signatures
Need to save copies for legal compliance
Should include unique contract numbers for tracking

Solution

The cfdocument tag generates contract-quality PDFs, instantly creates contracts upon signup, or personalizes the PDF with customer data.
