Question

CFDocument still cutting off the tops of text on some pages

Answer 1

A:

I've not seen this, but I'd attempt the following:

Futz with the top margin.

Attempt to add whitepsace to the top of the page pre-pdf-ing.

If there are graphics at the top, make sure they are using absolute (not relative) paths.

I'm not sure if any of that will be helpful, but it's my best ideas off the top of my head.

Thanks Ben. I've tried futzing with the margin and the problem moves from one page to another. I have no images. I have no header or footer. The cut only occurs when the data overflows from one page to the next, usually mid table cell. Manual page breaks on new records work fine with no chopping of text. To make it worse it doesn't happen on every page where the data over flows.

Answer 2

+2 A:

Wrapping text in a table within a div tag solves this problem.

<table width="99%" border="0" cellspacing="2" cellpadding="2">
    <tr>
        <td><div>#dateFormat(now(), "mm/dd/yyyy")#</div></td>
        <td><div>#lipsum#</div></td>
        <td valign="top"><div>FirstName LastName</div></td>
    </tr>
</table>

I had one instance where this did not work in my actual data. It turns out it was a nested table. I un-nested them and the problem went away.

I hope this helps someone else.

Oh my goodness, thanks for this little tip. I was prepared for days of hair-pulling and teeth-gnashing, but this saved me.
