Example: Merge multiple PDF’s into a single PDF…

November 29th, 2009  / Author: admin

Here is an example of how to merge files into a single PDF document in a specific order using the CFPDF tag in CF 8:

Note: This post is an extension of Ray Camden’s post, “ColdFusion 8: Working with PDFs (Part 5)”


<cftry>

	<cfdocument name="pdf1" format="pdf">
	<cfoutput>
	This is PDF 1 at #timeFormat(now())#
	</cfoutput>
	</cfdocument>

	<cfdocument name="pdf2" format="pdf">
	<cfoutput>
	This is PDF 2 at #timeFormat(now())#
	</cfoutput>
	</cfdocument>

	<cfset dirpath 		= "C:\Coldfusion8\wwwroot\test\pdf">
	<cfset subdirpath 	= "C:\Coldfusion8\wwwroot\test\pdf\merged">

	<!--- Create directoris/subdirectories if they don't exist --->
	<cfif DirectoryExists("#dirpath#") IS "No">
		<cfdirectory action="CREATE" directory="#dirpath#">
	</cfif>
	<cfif DirectoryExists("#subdirpath#") IS "No">
		<cfdirectory action="CREATE" directory="#subdirpath2#">
	</cfif>

	<cffile action="write" file="#subdirpath#/pdf1.pdf" output="#pdf1#" nameconflict="overwrite">
	<cffile action="write" file="#subdirpath#/pdf2.pdf" output="#pdf2#" nameconflict="overwrite">

	<!--- Merge files and output to directory using memory variable --->
	<cfpdf action="merge" overwrite="yes" destination="#subdirpath#/merged.pdf">
		 <cfpdfparam source="pdf2">
		 <cfpdfparam source="pdf1">
	</cfpdf>

	<!--- or --->

	<!--- Merge files and output to directory using actual file name --->
	<cfpdf action="merge" overwrite="yes" destination="#subdirpath#/merged.pdf">
		 <cfpdfparam source="#subdirpath#/pdf2.pdf">
		 <cfpdfparam source="#subdirpath#/pdf1.pdf">
	</cfpdf>

	<!--- Show results of merged file --->
	<cffile action="readbinary" file="#subdirpath#/merged.pdf" variable="mergedpdf">
	<cfcontent type="application/pdf" variable="#mergedpdf#">

	<!--- Display if no error... --->
	Done.............

		<!--- Catch and handle error(s) --->
		<cfcatch type="any">
			<cfsavecontent variable="error_info">
			<cfoutput>
			Message: #cfcatch.message#,
			Details: #cfcatch.Detail#
			<cfif structKeyExists(cfcatch, "NativeErrorCode") AND cfcatch.NativeErrorCode neq "">,
				Native Error: #cfcatch.NativeErrorCode#
			</cfif>
			</cfoutput>
			</cfsavecontent>

			<!--- Show custom error message --->
			<cfoutput>#error_info#</cfoutput>
		</cfcatch>

Using Coldfusion to Find/Replace words in a word document…

November 29th, 2009  / Author: admin 

<!--- Try to connect to the Word application object --->

<!--- If it exists, connect to it --->

CLASS="Word.Application"
NAME="objWord"
TYPE="COM">

<!--- The object doesn't exist, so create it --->

CLASS="Word.Application"
NAME="objWord"
TYPE="COM">

/*Define text to replace and with what*/
replaceTextFrom = '';
replaceTextApproverFrom = '';
replaceTextApproverTo = 'John Doe';
replaceTextTo = 'text I want in my word doc';
replacePath = 'C:\';

/*Define value for Replace argument of word find.execute method*/
wdReplaceAll = 2;

/*Open word*/
objWord.Visible = FALSE;
/*Open document*/
objDoc = objWord.Documents.Open(replacePath &amp; "\myFile.doc");
/* set up selection parameters */
objSelection = objWord.Selection();

/* set replace value */
objSelection.Find.ClearFormatting();
objSelection.Find.Replacement.ClearFormatting();

/* execute search and replace */
//objSelection.Find.Execute( , , , , , , , , , , ,wdReplaceAll);
objSelection.Find.Execute(
replaceTextFrom,1,1,0,0,0,1,1,1,replaceTextTo,wdReplaceAll
);
objSelection.Find.Execute(
replaceTextApproverFrom,1,1,0,0,0,1,1,1,replaceTextApproverTo,wdReplaceAll
);

/* Save the document to a location */

/* Save the changes */
objDoc.Save();

OR

objDoc.SaveAs(replacePath &amp; "\myNewFile.doc");

/* Close the document */
objDoc.Close();

/* Quit Word - Call twice to ensure winword.exe process removal */
objWord.Quit();
objWord.Quit();
