I was trying to find an open source and programmatic method of producing the screenshots. So you have any suggestions on how to produce better quality snapshots via CF?

We talked about this during the alpha/beta of Scorpio and Damon/Tom J./Sean was like, "Bah, it's good enough." Anyway, forget all that. If you're on windows server, you can use this ( http://www.websitescreenshots.com/ ) - Yes, unfortunately, the "full" version with the command line costs money. It works though and does everything as advertised. I’m rather annoyed with the whole cfhttp/pdf solution.

I am still trying to figure out why the black border appears on the individual images in the image itself. It occurs when the cfpdf thumbnail conversion kicks off. As soon as I get a solution I will post up the updated code and will probably post it up on RIAForge.com.

I am thinking it'd be perfect in a directory site I'm working on ... add a url and get the thumbnail of the page made dynamically - is that right? Hi Lu -
