Wil, Honestly, I would not assume that you could easily just switch from a 32bit COM object to an equivalent 64bit COM object (if it were even to exist) and expect all to work as is. My gut feel is that if you really need to support legacy 32bit COM objects then you are better off installing a 32bit instance of ColdFusion.

I agree Dave, Sometimes we are stuck supporting legacy code while upgrading platforms (newer servers and newer CF versions). I had to do this for one client. I finally convinced them to switch from the COM version of PDFLib to the new Java version that was available. At least in this case the there was an alternative. So yes, I agree that using an alternative to COM is a good thing, however there may be legacy cases that we are forced to support. Adobe "should" work on integrating the 64 BIT jIntegra http://j-integra.intrinsyc.com/ .
