ABOUT THIS SESSION:

Our noon (US EDT) talk on Thursday June 4 will be Dave Ferguson speaking on "PDF Creation and Manipulation with ColdFusion 8".

TOPIC DESCRIPTION:

Generating PDF documents is a simple task in ColdFusion 8. That is if you know what you are doing. This meetup will discuss the basic knowledge needed to create a PDF document. From something as simple as taking an image and converting it, to converting an entire web page or other document. Advanced features such as page extraction, PDF merging and document security will also be discussed.
Real world examples, as well as basic demos, will be used to explain the features discussed. The goal is for everyone to leave the meeting with the feeling that they can do it themselves.

SPEAKER:

Dave has been working in information technology for almost 13 years.
He has spent the majority of that time specializing in large enterprise class systems. Dave currently holds a Master ColdFusion Developer certification as well as many other information technology certifications. In his current employ he is the system architect, technical project leader, and lead developer for a enterprise wide digital asset management (DAM) system for the Walt Disney Company. He has also written a couple articles for the ColdFusion Developers Journal as well as running his own ColdFusion blog. He also started the CFHOUR().com podcast with a colleague. The podcast, just like his blog, is mostly focused on ColdFusion but dabbles in to other technologies.

RECORDING: As always, the meeting will be recorded, and the recording URL will be posted after the meeting at http://recordings.col....

PODCAST/DOWNLOADABLE RECORDINGS:
We will attempt to make this meeting available as a downloadable recording, which will be listed on the recordings page within a few days of the meeting.

LOGGING IN: When you login to the Connect room (the experts.acrobat.com/cfmeetup link above) to view the meeting, PLEASE USE THE "LOGIN AS GUEST" option, and USE YOUR NAME, but do NOT attempt to use your meetup.com username/password. The login screen presented there has no connection to meetup.com. And if you have a real Connect account, don't use that either. Just sign in as a guest. It's just not worthwhile try to add those who have real accounts to the participant list for each meeting. You have no fewer features as a guest as than you would if logging in with your own Connect account. Thanks.

RSVP, but only if coming: We appreciate folks RSVPing if they plan to come (using the link on this email or at the meetup site), though it's not mandatory and it's not a commitment. BTW, no need to RSVP if you can't make it nor even explain why you can't. With nearly 1,500 members, there's really no reason to explain your absence. :-)

FEEDBACK/MEETING DISCUSSION: We would appreciate your sharing your feedback after the meeting (via the follow-up email sent to members, or via a link on the site). Meetup.com also now offers a meeting-specific discussion area, available on each meeting event page, in addition to the feedback feature. Please feel free to have discussions there about the meeting's topic.

ADD THIS TO YOUR CALENDAR: If you would like to easily add this event to your own personal calendar, please note that the page for the event offers a link (on the right) saying, "Add this meeting to your calendar", which offers links to get calendar downloads for Outlook, iCal, Google, and Yahoo calendars.
