cfindex "most likely" reads the content and md as well, but if you want to get firm control over the indexing process, you got to the some of the work yourself. You can always combine stuff. For example, you can use cfindex to read in a pdf's content, and use cfpdf to supply custom data for the index from some of the md fields.
FYI - don't forget if you want a way to read PDF text, which isn't native in CF8, you can use my pdfutils CFC (pdfutils.riaforge.org). It has a handy getText() function for PDF files.
