What version of CF are you using?

If it is a recent version, look up the CFDOCUMENT tag. One of the output options is PDF. That should get you going in the right direction.

You can use cfdocument to make pdf files. If you follow the logic from your other program, at what point do you get stuck?

Assuming test.cfm is the file that produces excel, did you read it? What does it do?
