Hi guys,
I have a site which displays information on building complex's. Rather than have to create a pdf brochure for each one. Is it possible to provide alink on the page which will then automaticly dump the info into a PDF file ready to either print or save and email.

I have searched the net and found some extensions but they involve installing stuff on my CF Server which is a shared server with the hosting company. Also I need to use CF7 as the server is still on 7.

regards

rob
 
Hi Rob,

Is your building complex information static images or text? Or is dynamically pulled from a database?

I'm thinking that mabe you could use the cfdocument tag.
<cfdocument format ="pdf">
Your content here...
</cfdocument>
 
Thats great I knew coldfusion would make it nice and easy. This saves me so much time. If I could'nt figure this out I would have to have made near on 20 brochures and kept them upto date as the information chaged on the site.

Thanks again, have a star.

Rob
