Added this to the if block in doPrint for Document.as:

template.height = printJob.pageHeight;
template.width = printJob.pageWidth;

All it did was make the problem worse, now it prints the same two pages (one blank with a grey box), and two others that are completely blank.

Downloading the source via SVN is a hassle for people on secure networks (need to get an svn client on an internet-only machine). It’d be nice if there was a simple zip file kept up to date on google code for each major version, instead of just the svn repository.

This is all great, amazing actually, I spent a great deal of research and reading about reporting through FLEX; and frankly the best I could come up with before this project was to utilize Apache FOP through PHP; by creating XSLT templates and biding them to XML data.

BUT THIS PROJECT!!!!!!! it is just WOW, great job and really thanks for sharing.

Thanks for the link! Yeah, I’ve done little cf, but that’s what we have on our servers…

Hi Paul,

create.php is part of the alivepdf library. As far as I know there is no Coldfusion version of it. You should check on the alivepdf forum if anyone can help you with that.

I’ve never used coldfusion, and i’m just guessing, but create.php is quite simple and it shouldn’t be that hard for you to make the porting. If you decide to make it on your own you have a java version herethat might be helpful too

Looks great! Do you have a coldfusion version of the create.php file?

Hey, very cool stuff.

I’m a little confused on how to use it. I have some components that I want to print.

Let’s say they are comp1, comp2, comp3.

How can I use your code to print it? Maybe they would click a button and it would just to your print layout. I dun know though…

Hi Calvin,

What exactly do you need Unicode for? If you’re trying to use a specific language you shoud use a font that supports it. In order to get similar display and print font metrics FlexReport requires the use of embedded fonts.

About the second question, why would you want to make XML templates if you can create them with MXML and code the logic in AS3? The whole idea behind FlexReport is to just get the data from the server and populate the template with that data.
