cfdocument, slow to print with JPG images

[bdog2020]

Hi All,
I have a weird one. I developed a fairly complex cfdocument report with JPEG images. It worked fine in my test environment, producing a 185 page document in about 10 seconds.

But, as soon as I moved it over to production (CF 7.0.2 Cumulative Hotfix 3 running on Server 2003/IIS 6.0), it takes 30-60 seconds for even 5 pages of the report.

I've been looking at tons of threads online, and see a lot of issues with images. I've tried file:/// links, and none of that helps. My problem isn't displaying the images, they show up, but the PDF takes forever to create.

Then, I tried a funny thing. I switched the images to PNG, and the PDF created as quick in production as it did in my test environment. So, definitely the problem is rendering JPG images into PDF's.

I noticed a thread about issues with JPEG image color model (mine are all RGB) and something about a JDK function that CF uses for that.

Maybe that's my problem, the version of JDK in my production environment?

thanks for reading this far!

by the way, forgot to mention, I get the same info when I do 'java -version' at the command line between my test environment and production, and I'm at the same CF 7.0.2. with Cumulative Hotfix 3 in my test environment.
