Are you asking about converting html to pdf or creating the actual OMR symbols? The former could be solved by using cfdocument. The latter, I'm afraid, you're on your own, depending on the OMR symbol that is required. A quick google turned up no standards but barcodes, which doesn't seem you're interested in.
If you can somehow produce the OMR graphic, you can use it within HTML and if it shows ok in the browser, the cfdocument tag should include it unchanged in the pdf. Depending on the complexity of the OMR symbol, JAI or a product like Alagad's Image component might work: http://www.alagad.com/go/products-and-projects/image-component/create-and-draw-into-images Obviously, if you only have a limited number of OMR symbols to deal with, just have a graphics person create them as a gif or whatever and insert them in your page. Is that what you mean? /m : Just checking if someone has done like this before.
