Hi Shane,
yeah I'm looking at iText now - have found a few examples of people
using it. CF does indeed use iText for cfdocument etc, but it's
possible to also run the latest iText alongside it.

Hi Toby,
If you are willing to go the Java route, you could use the iText
(Lowagie) library to combine the cover PDF with a separate PDF
generated from the image (or maybe even the image directly). We use
this in some Java code and it works quite well. I think it is a
little less resource hungry than other libraries such as FOP.

I heard a rumour somewhere that CF uses iText as its PDF engine
anyway.

Sorry I don't think I'm being clear.
I have a pdf of the book cover, and I need to insert a user uploaded
image into the cover itself. IE I need to set out a position in the
cover pdf, where an image can be dropped in. What I need to do is
use cf/java to add the image file to the pdf, and save the result.
Make sense?
