RE: CF and Accessible PDF generation
Right now any dynamic document generation for PDF will not support the tagged format (which is necessary to make accessible). I've talked to Adobe til I'm blue in the face. Maybe some others saying the same thing will help. Historically, Macromedia used 3rd party libraries to create PDF's via CFDocument and the report generator. Since Adobe bought Macromedia, they can use their libraries and the tagged PDF format in CF, but they haven't done the work to change out the libraries. It would be a huge boon, especially to government clients (who are not happy when I tell them that dynamically generated PDF's cannot be made accessible).

I discussed this with somebody from Adobe and the guy who wrote the official standard of the Dutch government for accessible PDF last month and the consensus was 'use another tool'.
