Did you ever find a resolution to this? I’ve got something similar happening with certain pdf files – When I try and get them using the following code

I get this dumped out from the ddxVar:

failed: PDFM_S20005: Encountered internal error while processing document “DOC1″.

Now this works absolutely fine on CF9 – my dev environment – reads the PDF without error but on CF8 I get the error – which is causing me no end of problems further down the line

I’ve now tracked the problem down – When I dump out the DDX I get the following:

failed: CCITTFaxDecode Filter

So the problem is something to do with Fax images inside this particular PDF, but how to solve this is another thing!

Thanks ray – i’ll give that a try. Having looked at my problem a little more, it would seems that the orientation isn’t the problem! It seems to be this one specific PDF? Really strange as it opens up okay and using cfpdf getinfo returns okay…. I’ll see what I get by dumping the ddxVar.

You mentioned no error is thrown. That is not surprising. Have you dumped ddxVar, the result of your name argument? That gives details of the result of the DDX operation.
