Thanks for all the tips (still checking iText) but apparently it IS easier than I thought, Let me know if you see any gaping holes in this but I found this:
http://www.school-for-champions.com/coldfusion/cftopdf.htm http://www.school-for-champions.com/coldfusion/cftopdf2.cfm Doing it this way actually displays the field names and the values in the source of the file in plain text. So let's say I made a field called firstname and gave it a value of ***firstname*** In the source code, I see: /T(firstname)/V(***firstname***) Couldn't I just #replace(content, "***firstname***", form.firstname, "all")# The downside is, of course, that this pdf is huge. The upside is that I would only be entering the needed content and not fiddling with layout. Can you guys think of any more pros and cons? ..:.:.:.:.:.:.:.:.:.:.:.:.:.:.:.:.:.
