Cfdocument Speed issues

[StokeyTCI]

My marketing department wants the ability for newspapers, and customers to be
able to create there own adds. So I created everything with coldfusion, works
great cept the last step, generating the PDF, it works, only it takes about 10
minutes to load the PDF. Since this is my first time using cfdocument, im
hoping im just doing something stupid. Here is an example of my code.
<cfdocument format='pdf' backgroundvisible='yes' > <table border='0'
cellpadding='0' cellspacing='0' width='2400' bgcolor='d1d3d4'> <tr > <td
height='75' colspan='5' width='2400' ></td> </tr> <tr > <td
width='75' >&amp;nbsp;</td> <td height='180' colspan='3' width='2250'
background='images/dealernamebar.gif'>&amp;nbsp;</td> <td
width='75'>&amp;nbsp;</td> </tr> <tr > <td width='75'>&amp;nbsp;</td>
<td height='360' colspan='3' width='2250'
background='images/Page/Bottomsignature.gif' >&amp;nbsp;</td> <td
width='75'>&amp;nbsp;</td> </tr> <tr > <td width='75'>&amp;nbsp;</td>
<td height='220' colspan='3' width='2250' ></td> <td
width='75'>&amp;nbsp;</td> </tr> <tr> <td height='20'>&amp;nbsp;</td>
<td>&amp;nbsp;</td> <td>&amp;nbsp;</td> <td>&amp;nbsp;</td>
<td>&amp;nbsp;</td> </tr> <tr> <td height='540'
width='75'>&amp;nbsp;</td> <td width='1110'
background='images/brand/4X4SYNCHRONE.jpg'><img
src='images/brand/4X4SYNCHRONE.jpg'></td> <td width='30'>&amp;nbsp;</td>
<td width='1110' background='images/brand/4X4SYNCHRONE.jpg'><img
src='images/brand/4X4SYNCHRONE.jpg'></td> <td width='75'>&amp;nbsp;</td>
</tr> <tr> <td height='20'>&amp;nbsp;</td> <td>&amp;nbsp;</td>
<td>&amp;nbsp;</td> <td>&amp;nbsp;</td> <td>&amp;nbsp;</td> </tr>
<tr> <td height='540' width='75'>&amp;nbsp;</td> <td width='1110'
background='images/brand/4X4SYNCHRONE.jpg'><img
src='images/brand/4X4SYNCHRONE.jpg'></td> <td width='30'>&amp;nbsp;</td>
<td width='1110' background='images/brand/4X4SYNCHRONE.jpg'><img
src='images/brand/4X4SYNCHRONE.jpg'></td> <td width='75'>&amp;nbsp;</td>
</tr> <tr> <td height='20'>&amp;nbsp;</td> <td>&amp;nbsp;</td>
<td>&amp;nbsp;</td> <td>&amp;nbsp;</td> <td>&amp;nbsp;</td> </tr>
<tr> <td height='540' width='75'>&amp;nbsp;</td> <td width='1110'

<td width='1110' background='images/brand/4X4SYNCHRONE.jpg'><img

</tr> </table> </cfdocument>

Just timed it and it took exacatly 10 min.

10 mins?? how big is the pdf that you are trying to create? how many images
does it have? I tried the your code snippet and it comes within 1-2 sec.
Whats hapenning at your end? can you take 2-3 thread dumps when the browser
is waiting?
What happens when you don't have cfdocument tag?

Here I set you up a demo if you go to [url]http://www.tirecenters.com/t3/adview.cfm[/url]
at the bottom of the page is a series of stars. The stars take you to a display
of the PDF. I know it has something to do with the images, if I remove the
images, I get a load time of 2 sec. Problem is this is for print, so the
images have to be high res. There is a total of 9 images the top image is only
204 kb, the tire image is 304 kb the tire picture is on the page 8 times.

O and the file size of the PDF is only 329 kb

Guess from all the responses alot of people don't use this feature, so if someone wanted to create a dynamic pdf for publishing purposes how would you guys do it?

HI !
I tried exactly the same URL you had provided that creates a pdf out of
that html page.
[url]http://www.tirecenters.com/t3/adpdf.cfm[/url]
I timed it and i get the pdf within 15 secs (used firefox as well as IE). I
am wondering why is it happening on your machine? Did you try it from any
other client machine or any other browser?

Thanks & Regards,
Rupesh
