I am developing an e-learning application with Flash MX 2004 Professional and
ColdFusion MX 7. I understand that the <cfdocument> tag can output documents,
reports and webpages to FlashPaper/PDF formats. However, I have been
unsuccessful in determining if the new version of CF can an will allow a user
to upload say, a powerpoint presentation to the server and convert it to
FlashPaper for use as course slides in a Flash e-learning environment?

Is there a way to allow users to upload files to the server using CFMX 7 and
have the uploaded file automatically converted to FlashPaper by either using
the <cfdocument> tag or by accessing the FlashPaper printer driver that is
installed with CFMX 7?

Any ideas would be much appreciated.

Thanks,
Sean

http://www.forta.com/ was kind enough to answer my question. So for anyone who
would like to know the answer, here it is:

"No, <cfdocument> converts HTML and CSS to PDF and/or FlashPaper, it does not
convert other formats. For that you'll likely need a full copy of FlashPaper
and would need to simulate a print sequence programmatically.

There is a little relatively inexpensive tool by pdf995.com called omniserver
that can convert to pdf documents on the server. IT watches the folder you
specify and then automatically converts the documents. You might want to check
that out. I think the program is about $200, but we were trying the same thing
you are trying to do and that's the resolution we came up with.
