I am using CFMX6.1 and does it have a feature to generate any voucher or order form to a pdf file and save into my computer?
currently, i already created a form using coldfusion and want to convert to a pdf file and then save into my computer, so I can send them via email. I prefer pdf instead of word document since pdf will lock the content of the form.
Please advise me. Thank you.

no but you can fairly easily use itext to handle this.

Well, iText is great but the version that comes with CFMX7 doesn't work for us. With cfmx6.1 we had uploaded the itext.jar library files and everything was working just fine. The cfmx7 itext file just won't pass form values anymore. We also tried to use the update feature in cf7 admin in order to upload the working itext file that we used with cfmx6.1 but to no avail. We are using the following tag for it:

http://www.reactivevision.com/coldPDF.txt

Although the top comments in the tag mention something about
<!-- If on ColdFusion 7 -->
http://blog.internetdatabases.com/?p=7

the recompiled version on the above page seems older than the itext version that ships with cfmx7.

has anyone run into similar issues?
Thanks
Emmanuel
