Editing Adobe ColdFusion (section)

=== PDF generation ===
ColdFusion can generate [[PDF]] documents using standard HTML (i.e. no additional coding is needed to generate documents for print). CFML authors place HTML and CSS within a pair of cfdocument tags (or new in ColdFusion 11, cfhtmltopdf tags). The generated document can then either be saved to disk or sent to the client's browser. ColdFusion 8 introduced also the cfpdf tag to allow for control over PDF documents including PDF forms, and merging of PDFs. These tags however do not use Adobe's PDF engine but cfdocument uses a combination of the commercial JPedal Java PDF library (maintained by the [[PDF Association]]) and the free and open source Java library [[iText]]. The tool cfhtmltopdf uses an embedded [[WebKit]] implementation.<ref>{{cite web|url=https://helpx.adobe.com/coldfusion/pdf-generation-in-coldfusion.html|title=PDF Generation in ColdFusion|publisher=Adobe|access-date=2017-01-27|archive-date=2017-07-09|archive-url=https://web.archive.org/web/20170709195908/https://helpx.adobe.com/coldfusion/pdf-generation-in-coldfusion.html|url-status=live}}</ref>
