To date, I have not found anything great built into MX or a CFX tag that does what I need. What I use a lot and LOVE is the easyPDF creator by BCL technology. The way I use it is a create a web archive file (mht) from MS word, then format it as appropriate for my client. Then use easyPDF to convert the MHT file to a PDF file. It works flawlessly to create PDFs cause it basically prints the MHT file to a PDF (I think). But there is some overhead: 1. Requires easyPDF to be able to have permissions on the productions server to run MS Word 2. MS Word (2003) must be installed on production server 3. Its not the cheapest solutions out there But despite the overhead, I thin it's the best PDF generation I have seen to date. -ben ........................

I'm currently looking at http://www.easel2.com/cfxpdf_support.html which seems to do all I need (basically convert an html page including layout and images) but if anyone has experience / preference / recommendations I'd be interested in hearing before I take the plunge.
