I have been trying to include another NON cfreport PDF to cfdocument and it garbles the the cfinclude. I can create PDF's from coldfusion but cannot combine that with an already PDF in the same directory.. Is it possible to create a pdf and include and already created pdf to make one pdf from cfdocument?

You dont include the pdf in cfdocument tag. What you can do instead is to write the pdf generated by cfdocument temporarily to the disk and then use cfpdf to merge it with another pdf (or do any other manipulation) and then stream to the browser.

Thanks Rupesh, one more question. With this new cfpdf tag, can you include a pdf within a cfdocument tag and stream it to screen.

ColdFusion 8 has a new tag called <cfpdf> which allows you to merge pdfs. So you can merge pre-created pdfs as well as pdfs created using cfdocument. Apart from merging, it also allows you to do whole range of pdf manipulation such as splitting, page extraction, creating thumbnails, extracing text, creating watermark, creating table of content, adding/manipulating usage rights, signing pdf and verifying signature in PDF, extracting meta-data.
