title: Alternatives to Coldfusion Report Builder
body: <p>Anyone know of a good solution for pdf generation (preferably with a visual layout tool) that I can use from ColdFusion instead of the CF Report Builder?  It should be able to accept cfquery input.  </p>
  
  <p>Basically is there anything better than the crusty Adobe offering out there?</p>
  
  <p><strong>EDIT</strong>: With CF 11 and the "pixel-to-pixel" rendering of "most" CSS and HTML (see <a href="https://wikidocs.adobe.com/wiki/display/coldfusionen/PDF+Generation+in+ColdFusion+11" rel="nofollow">https://wikidocs.adobe.com/wiki/display/coldfusionen/PDF+Generation+in+ColdFusion+11</a>), I wonder if anyone has attempted to do anything along the lines of 'normal reports', like page numbering, page breaks, etc. - the more traditional 8.5"x11" oriented features.  I'm a bit leery of trying to just do a drop-in replacement for CF Report Builder for this reason, knowing that HTML has no concept (in the browser) of discrete pages and page breaks.</p>
