You could use HTMLDoc to generate a PDF via a custom tag like Michael Schieber's cf_html2pdf3 or Jordan Michael's cf_CreatePDF. Then you just have to encapsulate your output between the opening and closing pdf generator tags. For example with cf_html2pdf,
<CF_HTML2PDF3 myHTMLDOC="c:\cfusion\htmldoc.exe" OPTIONS="--landscape --fontsize 10pt">
<TABLE>
//--- Output the results of your query ---//
<CFOUTPUT QUERY="myQuery">
<TR><TD>#myData#</TD></TR>
</CFOUTPUT>
</TABLE>
</CF_HTML2PDF3>
and with cf_createPDF:
<CF_CreatePDF>
<!-- content you want converted to PDF -->
</CF_CreatePDF>
