We had a heck of a time converting the HTML to PDF using the CFdocument tag, only encountered real problems when we were trying to right align the text and using bold on a title or a subheader. Found that we had to use two different fonts, one font type for bold and a different font for regular. Didn't matter what way you assigned the bold text, we tried everything. We found the solution, but only after a few days of killing ourselves over it. It really all depends what the HTML looks like...we had to put all non-alphanumeric text in it's own TD in order to Right align everything properly. I suspect this was because the way iText interprets of the html. When we right aligned the text, it went right over the table structure completely ignoring the assigned width.
