I'm using cfdocument to generate a PDF for the first time, and to be
honest, I'm pretty disappointed with the quality of the results.  I
have a page that looks EXACTLY as it should in IE & FireFox, yet using
the same code along with cfdocument to generate a PDF, the generated
results are similar but not close.  Fonts are jaggy and blotchy,
alignment is off, fonts are both larger and heavier than they should
be...the results are just plain unsatisfactory.  Examples of both
output are here:

Using Adobe Acrobat 6.0 Distiller -

Using CFDOCUMENT - http://www.ruckelshaus.com/pete/cf/cfdocument_example.pdf

I have done the usual things -- made sure I linked to my CSS file from
within each cfdocumentitem, checked to make sure the proper font as
installed in CF (Arial, it was), changed the marginbottom attribute to
make sure there was room for the footer, etc., but I'm just not
satisfied.  Are there any other tricks or tips for improving the
quality of the output?  Does cfdocument not handle linked CSS files
properly?

Failing that, can anyone comment on the quality of output for
commercially available products like ActivePDF?

Thanks

Pete
