Ok I convinced my boss to purchase a copy of CF8 which he is going to do next
week. I was reading through some of the docs and I saw that PDF's are somewhat
supported on the Standard Edition. What are the limitations to working with
PDF's?

If you look at the feature comparison matrix, available here:
http://www.adobe.com/products/coldfusion/editions/#featurematrix
You'll see that all functionality is supported, however it's limited. The
footnote for the PDF functions on Standard Edition says:
"Enterprise feature that runs through the Enterprise Feature Router (EFR).
These features will run in the Standard
Edition. However, all features running through the EFR will be limited to one
shared simultaneous request."
As far as what you can do... you can generate PDFs, manipulate them, and
process PDF form submissions.

Ok, that's what I thought. I just wanted to know from someone who already has
used the Standard Edition. I've been using the Developer Edition which is the
Enterprise Edition, so I didn't know how much functionality I'd be losing!
Thanks..
