I gave up on this dream months ago. I now exclusively use the online
documentation. Someone else has made a new version of this just don't expect
allaire to do anything about it. I mentioned it to Ben Freuh when he was in
town and I have heard nor seen anything come of it, why should allaire have
to appease thier customers anyways.

To some this may seem trivial but, the PDF documentation HAS to get fixed.
For many this is the only documentation that they have for 4.5.x and quite
frankly, it sucks. It's not the content, it's the usability. In earlier
versions, especially the 4.0.x series, the included and downloadable PDF
documentation was thorough and well built. There were bookmarks, thumbnails,
and the links all worked. Starting with CFAS 4.5 the PDF's have none of
these, which makes them almost useless. "Hmmm, was CFREGISTRY on page 171 or
117? What page number is the end of tags and the beginning of functions? Why
don't these darn bookmarks work!?" You get the picture. Not everyone uses
Studio and many CF servers have the HTML documentation removed. If PDF was
only supposed to be a supplement my opinion would be different but, for
upgraders, purchasers of electronic distributions, or those who do not use
Studio the PDF docs are all that they have. Unfortunately, Allaire's
documentation has always had problems, whether it be incompleteness,
inaccuracy, lateness, or terrible physical quality. The documentation group,
Margaret et al., made great strides in the 4.0.x series but, things seem to
be crumbling again.
