Cfmail pdf

Communications tags , Internet protocol tags. You can specify this tag's attributes in an attributeCollection attribute whose value is a structure. Specify the structure name in the attributeCollection attribute and use the tag's attribute names as structure keys. This tag attaches a file or adds a header to an e-mail message.

It can only be used in the cfmail tag. I have implemented sending an email and attaching a dynamically created PDF on the fly, but now I want to open my email client in a coldfusion app, simple enough to open-. Then I can send it like I normally would send an email. This also lets me make any changes to my text in the email before sending.

First time posting. I got it, I'll just use the code I currently have that sends an email with the dynamic PDF attachment, but instead of sending it to the intended party, I will send it to myself, then I can preview it, and foward it to the intended recipient using the email clients send. I wonder if I can populate the foward to variable? If you have a form where you are selecting the PDF, perhaps you could create an intermediate page after form, before sending where the uploaded PDF gets displayed in an iFrame?

This way, you could have the option to "Continue send email " or "Edit Message". Hadnt worked with iframes like that, maybe I will give it a wirl. I will keep you posted. Thought I would post u back what i did. First so u understand whats happenning, I compose an email that contains static text together with a blank pdf form that is dynamically populated with applicant information from a database query, and attached and sent to a recipient using cfmail and cfdocument tag. What I was trying to do instead of this was to provide a link using mailto: to let the user open their email client on their local machine and attach this pdf file.

This was hard to do because the pdf is created dynamically and is not saved on the server. Good article, I'm using it as a starting point for my endeavour into dynamically creating PDF's and attaching them to cfmails, all in a cfloop within a cfthread ;-. I've just tested it with some good help from Sean Daniels and Barney Boisvert to get me kickstarted and it works like a charm. Now hoping it won't affect the memory-usage too much or degrade the server-performance. Very cool my man. As I am sure you found this out, you just have to be careful about spooling.

If you're gonna email PDFs off the file system RAM or physical files , you have to be careful not to delete them before the mail has left the spool. Make that a "Remove" attribute. Posting this here mostly for other people, as it sounds like you have a lot of this figured out already:.

So I guess I'm stuck with a Scheduled Task that runs once a night to clean up the temp folder or Railo. Railo Barry unfortunately is CF 8. So I'm just gonna have to wait until the next new final release of Railo ;-. It looks like Railo doesn't have a way to attache binary variables; but, if they support the RAM disk, you should be able to use the File attribute. Again, though, you just have to be sure to clean up after yourself. The beauty of attaching the binary PDF value using Content in CF8 is that the variable is garbage collected in the same way that any variable is garbage collected after the request is over.

We ran into the same issue with attachments and sandbox security giving access denied. Hmmm, that's a bit beyond my experience with ColdFusion setup. I don't know much anything about running parallel instances of ColdFusion. I am running into the same sandbox access denied issue mentioned earlier by Galen. Did not work. Is there another directory I should look at? Great article. Your site is an awesome resource. I tried using the code but for some reason embedded images are not showing up in the email.

Do you know why that might be? By way of follow-up. I along with our IT staff figured out the issue. There were actually two errors being thrown although we did not discover the second until we fixed the first. The first error was the access denied message from earlier. While I thought permissions for the CF user on the server were set, we discovered that someone had set them to not be inherited to this particular directory I haven't a clue as to why. Once we adjusted it, all was well.

The second error that we ran into was revealed after the permissions were handled. I was trying to email the xls doc as an attachment and for some reason, it was not finding the cfmailparam attachment. I discovered through trial and error that you have to use the ' ' signs around the value if it is a variable. Once I put those in, it worked. You know about "justify" bug for cfdocument, do you know how we can justify into cfdocuments?

The tag does not have an attribute called content. You can configure log files to log mail status and errors via the ColdFusion Adminstrator. These can be useful for troubleshooting any issues you might encounter from time to time. You can also specify the frequency you'd like ColdFusion to poll the spool directory, and if you have the Enterprise version of ColdFusion, you can specify how many threads ColdFusion should use to send mail. This can improve performance enormously, however, you need to make sure the mail server can handle it.

ColdFusion Mail cfmail. A value that includes a port specification overrides the port attribute. Message recipient email addresses. To specify multiple addresses, separate the addresses with commas.

The MIME media type of the part. Requires a password attribute. If a line has more than the specified number of characters, replaces the last white space character, such as a tab or space, preceding the specified position with a line break.

If there are no white space characters, inserts a line break at the specified position.
