So, take a look here and get the library:
http://www.lowagie.com/iText/docs.html
Here's some sample code in CF utilizing Java and iText, I stripped out a lot of code from this or it would have been much longer(needs cleaning as well), all this does is put an image into a pdf and saves it:
<CFPARAM NAME="attributes.save_as" DEFAULT="#my_path#\mypdf_#createUUID()#.pdf">
<cfquery name="query" datasource="#app_datasource#" username="#app_user#" password="#app_passwd#">
SELECT *
FROM mytable
</cfquery>
<cfscript>
pdfFile = createObject("java", "java.io.FileOutputStream").init(attributes.save_as);
PageSize = createObject("java", "com.lowagie.text.PageSize").init();
document = createObject("java", "com.lowagie.text.Document").init(PageSize.A4, 0, 0, 0, 0);
PdfWriter = createObject("java", "com.lowagie.text.pdf.PdfWriter");
PdfWriter.getInstance(document, pdfFile);
FontFactory = createObject("java", "com.lowagie.text.FontFactory");
Font = createObject("java", "com.lowagie.text.Font");
BaseFont = createObject("java", "com.lowagie.text.pdf.BaseFont");
helvetica = BaseFont.createFont("Helvetica", BaseFont.CP1252, BaseFont.NOT_EMBEDDED);
regular = Font.init(helvetica, 10, Font.NORMAL);
bold = Font.init(helvetica, 10, Font.BOLD);
bbold = Font.init(helvetica, 14, Font.BOLD);
newfont = FontFactory.getFont(FontFactory.HELVETICA, javacast("int",10), javacast("int",5));
Paragraph = createObject("java", "com.lowagie.text.Paragraph");
Color = createObject("java", "java.awt.Color");
Image = createObject("java", "com.lowagie.text.Image");
Cell = createObject("java", "com.lowagie.text.Cell");
Element = createObject("java", "com.lowagie.text.Element");
document.open();
section1 = createObject("java", "com.lowagie.text.Table").init(2);
section1.setBorderWidth(0);
section1.setBorder(0);
section1.setSpacing(0);
section1.setPadding(0);
section1.setDefaultCellBorder(0);
section1.setWidth(98);
img = Image.getInstance(javacast("string",myimage));
img.setAlignment(2);
newcell1 = Cell.init(img);
newcell1.setColspan(2);
section1.addCell(newcell1);
document.add(section1);
document.close();
</cfscript>
