No I would display the cex124.pdf file the cex124.fdf contains the form
data. 

So I take it that the approach stated on
http://www.worlddesign.com/index.cfm/rd/cf/PDFForms.htm does not work on
CFMX7? I need to use the itext feature ?

If this is the case I have modified iText code below, how would I then
integrate this into my CF page and where would the code below sit in the
CF structure ?  

Finally how would the PDF document know where to populate the correct
form fields in the pdf document as there is no FDF doc involved?
