* Interview with Glenda Vigoreaux "ColdFusion Printing and Reporting"
Michael Smith: This time we are talking with Glenda Vigoreaux about her
CFUNITED-06 talk "ColdFusion Printing and Reporting". So why should a
developer be interested in this topic?
Glenda Vigoreaux: I believe that converting a CF document into a PDF
printable document is the most amazing and useful feature added to
CFMX7. I have many clients that upgraded to CF7 when they found out they
can convert their output into a PDF or FlashPaper document. My session
is introductory and anyone with basic CF experience can attend. Another
reason to attend is that I give away goodies in my presentations. Last year
I gave away 2 free Macromedia classes from roundpeg, worth over $1000 each.
MS: Wow cool! Does this new document functionality require a lot of
recoding?
GV: Tons of code... 2 lines - an open and close CF tag to start with.
MS: Wow cool! But what about more complex situations - like repeating
page headers and footers? Or sections?
GV: You can control page headers and footers also, with a minimal amount of
"massaging". You can also create sections, where you start a new page with a
new header and footer when a value in a specific field changes.
MS: You mentioned Flashpaper - why would I pick that over PDF for output?
GV: Flashpaper can instantly generate Flash documents that can be accessed
by over half a billion web users (just like Adobe marketing describes -
superior web viewing). Do you think that most people have the Flash player
plug-in loaded in their browser? PDF format is excellent for creating secure
and compact files for e-mailing, archiving, and printing.
MS: What about reporting? What is new there?
GV: CFMX7 comes with a separate application called the ColdFusion report
builder. It reminds me of Crystal Reports (not sure if that's good or bad).
This tool allows you to create bands where you place labels, data, charts,
and gives you finer control for your printed output. You can also generate
Excel files way easier than before ColdFusion 7.
MS: You can see Glenda video at http://www.cfunited.com
