Hi, on our local test-environment with CF 8.01 we have no problem to create a pdf with a cfdocument-tag. e.g.: <cfdocument format="pdf" encryption = "128-bit" permissions="AllowCopy,AllowPrinting" unit="cm" scale="100" backgroundVisible="yes" marginleft="1" marginright="1" filename="#url.pk_id#.pdf" pageType="A4"> <cfdocumentitem type="header"> ... content of the pdf </cfdocument> but our productive-server (also running on CF 8.01) is rendering very slow, and when I say slow I mean minutes not a view seconds longer than on the testserver. I have no idea where this discrepance is comming from, especially as we could observe the pdf-rendering on fusion-reactor witch makes it rather improbable that - as we first thought - our firewall is slowing down the process. Does anyone out there has an idea where the problem could be located or event had experienced a simular pdf-pitfall? thanks for yout efforts.
