If this works, I'm sorry for asking such an elementary question. I was assuming that there would be quite a few steps and maybe even some Java involved. This could be quite impressive, thanks! I'll test and get back to you. :-)

@Dan - We could post an example in another language if you _really_ want it more complicated ;)

A:
Adobe added quite a lot of support for PDFs in ColdFusion after they took over Macromedia. So you can also print PDFs and manipulate them.
