CFpdf Tag Locking up my server 1

[LyndonOHRC]

I need to generate thumbnails of very small (100-130kb) PDF files. Every time I try to use the tag I have to restart the main ColdFusion 9.0 service; the "thumbnail" folder gets created, I never get any jpeg(s), and the server locks up completely.

Even this most basic form of the tag usage locks me up:

<cfpdf action="thumbnail" source="C:\myPDFs\Test1.pdf" overwrite="yes" imageprefix="thumb">

I also tried messing with pdf.js javascript library, supposed to generate thumbs too, but all the examples I found were very incomplete and way over my head I suppose.

Any help much appreciated.

I have it going. It must be my CF 9 configuration. Exactly what I have no idea. This AM I thought about my standby server. I never use it, it's there in case of disaster. I ran the cfpdf tag on it and it worked great!

I'm using that server to get my thumbnails with a cflocation tag and can now finish this project. Once done I'll troubleshoot the main server and try to fix the issue.

Thanks for all the help!!!

Glad you figured out how to make it work. Hopefully you can find and repair the server.

If you can't stand behind your troops, stand in front of them.
