Insert image/graphic file into PDF

Question

In either CF 7 or CF 8, is there a way to dynamically place
an image/graphic file into an existing PDF.

Scenario is:

1. We have a PDF that's already built
2. It has form fields
3. We use a CF tag to place an image/graphic file into one of
the form fields

I don't see how to do it with either cfdocument or cfpdf.

Is it possible within ColdFusion?

If not, can anyone suggest a technique or workaround? Or any
third party products that will help us do it?

Thanks.

You can use iText. It is what cfdocument uses to create pdf's. So it is built into MX7 and CF8. Here is a java example of something similiar to what you are trying to do
