Dave, It is more to do with what MM have promised and what they have delivered.
ActivePDF are very aware of the CF MX issue and have developers working on a solution. I believe MM do need to address this area as something that worked well in 5, should not just fail. I can see MM and AP working at it from different ends and I hope they are talking to each other. In the meantime, the immediate solution is to cheat by using an ASP solution. I need to get a job done. How I get there is irrelevant.
