Rob, I have a couple of tips on my blog about PDFs and optimization. Recall that CF is doing HTTP "get" type requests for the resources it needs - so when you include images it has to create HTTP request to retrieve each of them. One work around is to use the file:// type syntax to map to the images on the hard drive. This allows the PDF generater to pull them off of the disk rather than generating an HTTP request. Your images themselves need to be optimized and "pre-sized". We have found PNG files work a bit better than other image types.

I have a PDF with parts of images spanning pages, and it just looks terrible. Are the proposals always going to contain similar information? Just wondering if you could then add some pagination to the document (certain items/sections on certain pages?) my two cents.
