Ben,
Another alternative is to use HTMLDoc (see http://www.easysw.com) on
your server and call it either via cfexecute or using the custom tag
CF_Html2Pdf3(see http://www.macromedia.com/cfusion/exchange/index.cfm#view=sn106&viewName=Exchange%20Search%20Details&loc=en_us&authorid=35342392&page=0&scrollPos=0&subcatid=0&snid=sn106&itemnumber=0&extid=1002789&catid=0). That tag works very well, but you have to have HTMLDoc installed on your server. I've used this approach with our on-line employment application (internal only). After HTMLDoc is installed, all you basically have to do is put your output between the <CF_Html2Pdf3> tags and it automatically converts the content to a PDF, and then saves it to disk where you specify.
