Hi all , Can anyone help me solving this issue. I am using FCK Editor on my coldfusion page. Then I am generating PDF of the data using <cfdocument> tag. If I format the text first and then set the background color , the background color is not rendered on PDF. Consider the cases : Case 1: Type the text , Select the text , Set background , then format the text. Resulting html : <span style="font-family: Comic Sans MS"> <b> <span style="background-color: #ff0000"> COLOR-DISPLAYED </span> </b> </span> Output on PDF : Text rendered with background color and proper formatting. Case 2: Type the text , Select the text , format the text , then set the background. Resulting html : <span style="background-color: #ff0000"> <span style="font-family: Comic Sans MS"> <b> COLOR-NOT-DISPLAYED </b> </span> </span> Output on PDF : Text rendered with proper formatting but background color is not rendered. Thanks in advance
