A4: 8. A5: 5. B4: 9. B5: 7 inches x 9. Comments 8 Print del. The image would be resampled much larger on the page. Then it determines the width of the item in question relative to that original value. Thanks for taking care of that, Dan.

If the destination file does not exist, ColdFusion creates the file, if the parent directory exists. You can specify the destination attribute or the name attribute, but not both. For the thumbnail action, the destination is the directory path where the images are written. If you specify a relative pathname to the destination directory, the destination directory is relative to the template directory. If you do not specify a destination directory, ColdFusion creates a directory called thumbnails in the directory in the template directory.

For the optimize action, destination is the path where the PDF document which needs to be optimized is located. For extracttext and extractimage , destination is the path of the PDF document from which the text or image needs to be extracted. For addheader , addfooter , removeheader footer, destination is the path of the PDF document where you need to add a header or footer, or remove the header and footer.

PDF document variable name, for example, myBook. If the source is a PDF document variable, you cannot specify the name attribute again; you can write the modified PDF document to the destination. For the processddxaction , the name represents the structure that is populated with the success or failure of the output variables.

ColdFusion gives you the option to write a PDF file to a variable by using the name attribute, which is useful if you want to perform multiple operations on a document before writing it to a file.

However, this is practical for small files only because of memory requirements. ColdFusion recommends that you do not specify the name attribute when you specify a variable as the source because it creates a copy, which increases processing.

In most cases, this is unnecessary because you can reuse variables even after you write them to files. Use the cfprint tag to print PDF documents.
