Create PDF with Coldfusion (openBD CFML engine) java

Question

Wrestling to create PDF in Coldfusion using the following block with no success:

<cfset FileInputStream = CreateObject("java", "java.io.FileInputStream") >
<cfset File = CreateObject("java", "java.io.File")>

<cfset lic = CreateObject("java", "com.aspose.pdf.License")>
<cfset lic.setLicense(FileInputStream.init(File.init("E:\Tomcat\webapps\openbd\Aspose.Pdf.lic")))>


<cfset Document = CreateObject("java", "com.aspose.pdf.Document").init() >
<cfset demo_pdf = Document.init() >

<cfset Section = CreateObject("java", "aspose.pdf.Section").init() >
<cfset Text = CreateObject("java", "aspose.pdf.Text").init() >

<cfset sec1 = section.demo_pdf.getSections().add() >
<cfset sec1.getParagraphs().add(Text.init("Τέσσερα"))>
<cfset demo_pdf.save("E:\Tomcat\webapps\openbd\HelloWorld.pdf")>

The error produced is: "java.lang.NoSuchFieldException" on line:"cfset sec1 = section.demo_pdf.getSections().add()". What am i supposed to do in order to generate PDFs using java aspose PDF lib under openBD CFML engine?

Answer 1

In reference to your last comment, try the following code:

<cfset demo_pdf = CreateObject("java", "aspose.pdf.Pdf").init() >
<cfset section = CreateObject("java", "aspose.pdf.Section").init() >
<cfset sec1 = demo_pdf.getSections().add() >
<cfset text = CreateObject("java", "aspose.pdf.Text").init("Κατά τη συζήτηση") >
<cfset text.getTextInfo().setFontName("Arial Unicode MS")>
<cfset sec1.getParagraphs().add(text)>
<cfset demo_pdf.setUnicode()>
<cfset demo_pdf.save("c:\HelloWorld.pdf")>

I work as Social Media Developer at Aspose. You need to use "aspose.pdf.Pdf" class instead of "com.aspose.pdf.Document" class. See the following updated sample:

<cfset demo_pdf = CreateObject("java", "aspose.pdf.Pdf").init() >

<cfset section = CreateObject("java", "aspose.pdf.Section").init() >
<cfset text = CreateObject("java", "aspose.pdf.Text").init("Hello World") >

<cfset sec1 = demo_pdf.getSections().add() >
<cfset sec1.getParagraphs().add(text)>
<cfset demo_pdf.save("c:\data\HelloWorld.pdf")>

Update based on comments:

You can add <cfset demo_pdf.setUnicode()> before the save statement to include the TrueType font to be used for your Greek Charaters.
