java.io.IOException: Parsing problem
Since updating to MX 8.01 i get the following error after producing a lot of PDF files. After restarting the service everything works fine again, but it's quite frustrating because restarting is the only solution so far.
After reading several blogs, forums etc etc i found out that more people experience this bug, bug Adobe doesn't seem to have discovered it... Could anyone point me in a direction to solve this problem.
Behavior description:
Every week I create a 500+ PDF files with a simple script that generates HTML and that's being transformed to a PDF.. works flawless. BUT... and there it is.. after this schedule task, other functions that work exactly the same.. html to pdf with cfdocument don't work anymore and produces the following error.
java.io.IOException: Parsing problem occured during the rendering process of this document.
Only restarting of the entire ColdFusion service solves it.. and because it's a production machine this isn't ideal. Can anyone (Adobe??) confirm this behavior. I really really would like to fix this bug because (as i said) it's frustrating to reboot the machine every week.

Allthough this doesn't look as if it is directly related to a memory issue, it just might be.
Get rid of every object after using it (nullify, or in CF delete it?)
You might also wanna try to force the JRE into a garbage collection run. But remember, the garbage collector has a mind of its own, it might listen to you, but it might also just say: 'na, not now'

As of today there hasn't been someone with a solution :-( I now restart the service after the initial scheduled task and that "solves" it for me.. But that is a really dirty was of "fixing" this problem.

Hmmmm. Restarting the service is no solution for me because the server will be the production server and I'm not allowed to restart the service at any time.
Creating a own ApplicationPool did not help, too.
This makes me sad :-( Adobe, please help us.

Hello again. I hope, now I have a workaround. The problem is a "<br><br>" HTML command. Now I replace this one to "<br><font></font><br>". This is the CF code:
<cfprocessingdirective suppresswhitespace="yes" pageencoding="utf-8">
<cfparam name="url.Suppress" default="no">
<cfsetting requesttimeout="60">
<cfset xurl="mysite.cfm?id=1234">
<cfhttp url="#xurl#" timeout="10" charset="utf-8"></cfhttp>
<cflock scope="server" timeout="60">
<cfdocument format="pdf"
orientation="portrait"
backgroundvisible="true"
encryption="128-bit"
fontembed="yes"
permissions="AllowScreenReaders,AllowPrinting"
>
<cfoutput>#replace(cfhttp.filecontent,"<br><br>","<br><font></font><br>","ALL")#</cfoutput>
</cfdocument>
</cflock>
</cfprocessingdirective>

Wow, thanks for posting this.Strangely, this just popped up recently in an app we have been using with CF 8 for months??Even more perplexing was that the CF8 Test server worked fine, but the CF8 production server blew up only some of the time (not all records did it).Very strange, however, the empty FONT tag between two BR tags seems to be doing the trick.So thanks again!

I am having the same error, but the output going to the PDF is in a table.There are no double line breaks.Any other solutions?
25 November 2008 14:53 cet
Same for me - replacing several cases of <BR><BR> "solved" it.

Replacing "<br><br>" solved the problem for me, too. Thanks a lot, saved me further debugging time ;-)

In case someone needs a regex to replace <br> sequences into a single <br> tag:
<cfset sFilecontent = REReplaceNoCase(sFilecontent, "(<br[^>]*>\s*)+", "<br/>", "All")>
14 July 2009 12:13 cet
Worked for me to, big thanks!
<cfdocument format="pdf">
<cfoutput>
#REReplaceNoCase(cfhttp.FileContent, "(<br[^>]*>\s*)+", "<br/>", "All")#
</cfoutput>
</cfdocument>
