This should be easy. I'm working on a site to allow real estate
agents to tweak a brochure on-line, then save it as a PDF. All I want
to do is take the resulting page of html, convert it exactly as it
looks in the browser to a PDF file (including colors, backgrounds,
images, formating, etc.),
It's extremely easy. Though sometimes getting everything pixel perfect is
tough.

We've done this a few times. If you're using advanced CSS and divs in the
HTML layout, the results when you go to CFPDF can be tricky.
We've found if you generate more rigid old style HTML tables the results on
going to PDF are more predictable.

Are there innumerable options and settings needed within the
CFdocument tag, or it just simply wrapping that sucker within the

It depends on the makeup of the HTML you are trying to convert and which
version of CF you are using. The cfdocument tag is one that has seen good
improvements in each release of CF, so you are going to have an easier time
using it if you are using CF9. cfdocument doesn't support the same level
There are a lot of settings, many of which are important, such as those
controlling image handling and page margins. The reference guide lists all
of them.

Here's the answer to this one: what you're seeing is the rendering of the
