Keep in mind that there are different PDF types. There are nicely formatted reports that export as a PDF, then there PDFs that have a less-defined structure. It is the difference between cfreport and cfdocument. A number of options open up to you if you are able to deal with the constraints of a professional report generation tool. Make sure to read the optimization notes related to cfdocument. There are tricks you can do which speed up embedding of images, which are documented in a number of places, including the online help. If cfdocument is having to go fetch images over http every time it runs that can really slow it down and become a bottleneck. You can embed images from a local hard drive. Are you using the localurl="yes" attribute? If you are generating PDFs from remote content, and the images are often the same across reports, you can predownload the images and cache them locally, then use the local cache when generating the PDF.
