You might like to look at http://code.google.com/p/wkhtmltopdf/ - it makes nicer PDF files from HTML - it uses a webkit widget so the HTML looks pretty much like chrome/safari, and better than most other similar tools (including the one in CF Server in my opinion).

I just do this in my code:
<cfoutput>
<cfsavecontent variable="pdfhtml">
HTML for the PDF
</cfsavecontent>
</cfoutput>
<cffile action="" nameconflict="overwrite" file="[path]myfile.html" output="#pdfhtml#">
<cfexecute name="[path]\wkhtmltopdf-0.8.3.exe" arguments="""[path]myfile.html"" ""[path]myfile.pdf"""></cfexecute>

If you have ever had problems with your PDF files looking not quite right give this a try - it also copes with standards compliant code so you're not stuck trying to do HTML 4 where you've half forgotten how to make things work (or at least that's what happens to me).

Yes, just add cfmailparam between your cfmail tags with a path to the file. It will attach it to the email.

 

<cfmailparam file = "#thisFilePath#" type="text/plain">
