I humbly disagree. CFDOCUMENT is for producing documents...not web pages. This is why you can define headers/footers, have page X of Y in footers, and make section headings span pages. Well OK...it is SUPPOSED to do these things...it often doesn't work as advertised. It just so happens that you can convert HTML to PDFs using it. The doc could be just text... It is based on the iText package which can do all the above and tonnes more....but it sucks to work with in CF...trust me...built and laid out 40 page dynamic doc using calls to the iText Java package pre-CFDOCUMENT being introduced...not fun at all.
