you could use cfcontent to include a pdf from elsewhere, but not to generate one from scratch (unless you wanted to output native postscript, which is possible but not easy) you could use cfdocument to create one, but only on mx7+
Since there is nothing built-in that handles pdfs in version 6, you are going to have to add on a third-party solution. Don't worry, most are free. There is a ready-made coldfusion tag called html2pdf that can help you. There is also a java library called iText that can get you there. There are good examples and tutorials for either. Google will get you info on either.
