When using PDF output in CFDOCUMENT, for correct, proper display of PDF files, does it require the full version of Adobe Acrobat to be installed on the ColdFusion production server?
We are using ColdFusion 9 on development/staging/production servers. I have one report that uses CFDOCUMENT with PDF as the output format. When I run the report on my local development/staging server (which uses CF9 Developer Edition), the output looks great. Background colors are displayed correctly (using CSS styles), page breaks work perfectly, etc.
However, when I copy and run the report from our CF9 production server, the PDF output has no background colors. Everything is in "black and white."
The only difference is that my local/staging server has the full ($199) version of Adobe Acrobat installed on it. But our CF9 production servers do not have Acrobat installed (just the free Acrobat reader).
I was going to try installing the free Acrobat 30-day trial version on the production server, to see if that made a difference. But before I do, I thought I might check the forums first, to see if anyone might know about this.
I just don't know why I'm getting different output (color versus black & white), when the only difference in the programs and code, is the installation of Adobe Acrobat on the development/staging server. Thank you for any help/advice.
