Hi Andy,
Thanks for the quick response.

Obviously, I need cfdocument for the conversion process (which you are
already planning on implementing) and then for the cfpdf tag the critical
pieces are the ability to merge, encrypt/password protection, generate
thumbnails, and set the metadata of the PDF document.

I'll take a look at the iText library as well.

Thanks for your help!
