With CFMX 7, you might try using Flashpaper instead of PDF if that's an option. I've found that some things print ok with PDF and some things print ok with Flashpaper. Matt's correct -- there are some bugs with both cfdocument as well as Report Builder ala cfreport.

If you're looking for an interim solution (there are some workarounds for cfdocument but I can't recall what they are off the top of my head), I've been very happy with abcPDF so far: http://www.abcpdf.com/ If you get the ASP version (not the .NET version) it's a COM object that CF can use pretty easily. We're using it at my company with CF 6.1 and it seems to work great.
