I don't see what the value is in trying to overlay the pdf.  The growth curves 
are actually generated by polynomials or line segments, I forget which, with 5 
parameters per curve (a curve being a particular percentile of a particular 
chart).  The coefficients are freely available from CDC or WHO on their 
websites, they're not difficult to implement (I've done it).

I mean literally overlay on the PDF from the CDC.

If you mean the specific numbers on the CDC growth charts, Rita's module allows 
you configure what exactly the curves look like. (But I assume you mean you 
want to literally overlay on a PDF from CDC, in which case, yes, her module 
won't do that.)

For the curious, this is the Growth Chart module 
(wiki<https://wiki.openmrs.org/x/ow0z>, 
download<https://modules.openmrs.org/modules/view.jsp?module=growthchart>)

Nevermind. I found it. I would like to find a solution that uses the actual cdc 
growth charts, though.

Thanks,

I think Rita Cuckavich wrote a module that plots that for you...
