Hi Chris, Can you please tell us in what frequency do you see these errors? Also, can you also let us know the load in which you see these failures? Finally, if possible please share your logs with us so that we can debug the issue. Thanks, Kailash

Hi Chris, We are not able to repro this issue. Can you please tell us the frequency in which you see this issue? Also, what is the load on the server, the CPU/RAM utilization and how many requests are you sending concurrently? Finally, can you share a specific test case where it always fails? Or is it not the case? Can you also share whats the content of #certificate_content# specified inside cfdocument tag.? Thanks, Kailash

I'm also seeing this problem in Coldfusion 9. We don't use the functionality often, around once or twice a day, converting an excel spreadsheet to PDF file. The spreadsheets are the same files every time and it will work for a few days but then the requests start to hang and the cfdocument tag stops working at all (other aspects of CF carry on working fine).

Hi Oliver, Can you please tell us the frequency in which you see this issue? Also, what is the load on the server, the CPU/RAM utilization and how many requests are you sending concurrently? Finally, can you share a specific test case where it always fails? Or is it not the case? Also, can you share the excel spreadsheet, and a test case where you see this failure? All these questions because this happens occasionally, and we are not able to repro this issue on our side Thanks, Kailash

Oliver, can you share an update?

The failure would happen every 5-10 requests to convert an excel file to PDF. Server load is low under 20 concurrent users. It always fails after 5-10 requests for this process, when we turn off this process server runs fine. Sorry cannot share the excel document due to confidentiality. This has just started to happen since migrating server to Windows 7 (over XP). Win 7 is also running Open Office 4 over Open Office 3.

Unable to repro the issue. Will reopen if a proper scenario is shared where we are able to see the failure.

Hi I am seeing this error currently in two of our 4 environments. Unfortunately it's our acceptance and production environments. Dev and Test behave fine, but it might be the volume of data being generated in the PDFs I'm running CF2016 update 4 on RHEL7 java.lang.Object.wait(Native Method) - waiting on <0x17f53213> (a coldfusion.util.Waiter) coldfusion.util.Waiter.getResponse(Waiter.java:44) coldfusion.document.DocumentProcessor.processContent(DocumentProcessor.java:274) coldfusion.document.DocumentProcessor.processContent(DocumentProcessor.java:179) coldfusion.tagext.lang.DocumentTag.processContent(DocumentTag.java:1868) coldfusion.tagext.lang.DocumentTag._processContent(DocumentTag.java:1769) coldfusion.tagext.lang.DocumentTag.doAfterBody(DocumentTag.java:1701) cfservice_main_pdf2ecfm1554691382._factor16(/service/pdf/service_main_pdf.cfm:76) cfservice_main_pdf2ecfm1554691382.runPage(/service/pdf/service_main_pdf.cfm:1) After the CF instance is restarted a simple PDF generates fine. <cfdocument format="PDF"> <cfoutput> ipsum dolor sit amet #dateformat(now(), "short")# </cfoutput> </cfdocument> But if I try to generate one of the proper PDFs it times out. Then the simple PDF times out as well. Cheers, Simon

Hi Simon,   You mentioned "But if I try to generate one of the proper PDFs it times out. Then the simple PDF times out as well". Can we take a look at how this PDF is generated? If code can't be shared, can we go on a call for this? Please drop me an email at [bihani@adobe.com|mailto:bihani@adobe.com] with a suitable time and your time zone for this.   Thanks, Kailash

Bug still exists. Found out you can reproduce if you have css that is trying to do an @import call with a relative protocol. This works: @import url('https://fonts.googleapis.com/css?family=Open+Sans:300,300i,400,400i,600,600i,700,700i,800,800i'); This spins: @import url('//fonts.googleapis.com/css?family=Open+Sans:300,300i,400,400i,600,600i,700,700i,800,800i');

Hi Chad,   The shared code works for me. Both relative and absolute URL works fine for me. Is it possible to go on a call to see the actual issue? Can you email me at [bihani@adobe.com|mailto:bihani@adobe.com] so that I can setup a meeting to see the issue?   Thanks, Kailash
