the 0,0,0,0 bit above are the margins in points. 1"=72pt.

there's a couple of approaches to this:
page events, cfsearching blog has a superb set of posts on itext & cf, this one
is about page events
http://cfsearching.blogspot.com/2008/03/instructions-for-cf-itext.html
directContent (ie stick any text/image/etc anywhere on the page):
<cfscript>
myObj = structNew();
local = structNew();
BaseFont=createObject("java", "com.lowagie.text.pdf.BaseFont");
bf=baseFont.createFont(BaseFont.COURIER,BaseFont.CP1252,BaseFont.EMBEDDED);
myObj.document=CreateObject("java", "com.lowagie.text.Document");
newFile=expandPath("test.pdf");
myObj.fileIO=createObject("java","java.io.FileOutputStream").init(newFile);
myObj.pdfWriter=CreateObject("java", "com.lowagie.text.pdf.PdfWriter");
myObj.vertText=createObject("java","com.lowagie.text.pdf.VerticalText");
myObj.pdfContentByte=createObject("java","com.lowagie.text.pdf.PdfContentByte");
// create document
myObj.document.init();
// call the static 'getInstance' factory method
local.writer=myObj.pdfWriter.getInstance(myObj.document, myObj.fileIO);
// open the document
myObj.document.open();
local.cb=local.writer.getDirectContent();
local.cb.beginText();
local.cb.setFontAndSize(bf, 12.0);
local.cb.showTextAligned(1, 'THIS IS A TEST', 100, 100, 0);
local.cb.endText();
myObj.document.close();
</cfscript>

porting from bruno's java examples to cf is fairly straightforward. where are
you getting stuck?
