Try iText. It's comes bundled with CF and is what runs CFDOCUMENT.
I stopped using CFDOCUMENT years ago in favor of directly calling iText.
It's a lot more powerful and stable.

If you are doing the insert inside the Oracle stored procedure, then you
have to commit inside the stored procedure. I have evolved into setting up
a general exception process so that if, for some reason, a stored procedure

Well, I may have answered my own issue. We have been applying version 8.0.1

There is no specific limit on file size for CFFILE. However, CFFILE loads
