Creating a PDF

[Nicholas_Bostaph]

I have a slight problem I need help with. I need to generate reports that will
eventually need to go to one person, who will then send them out as a pdf.
These reports will contain a large number of graphs. To do some basic testing,
I tried creating a page with some sample flash graphs and using Acrobat's
"convert web page to pdf" option on the IE toolbar to save the page...seemed
like a nice simple way to do it. That way the end user checks this page once a
month, creates a pdf from it, and emails it out.

The problem is, the graphs don't show up. Instead I get red boxes in the pdf
where the graphs should be. I figured this was because of flash, so I tried
setting my cfchart tag to output pngs. Exact same problem. Anyone run into
this before or have any ideas?

My question is more on what the best way to do this would be. I read that I
could create a pdf with cfcontent, but have no idea how to do that. Would that
be a more efficient method; creating the pdf server side and providing a link
to it? I'd appreciate everyone's thoughts on this.

Thanks in advance. :)

No one has any ideas on this?

I ran into the same problem when creating PDFs with an embedded chart. Have the chart output format be jpg. This worked for me!
