from the DB and converts it to a PDF document. I am using XHTML and CSS to
layout the data and then using cfdocument to generate the PDF.
My problem is with the cfdocument margin functionality. For ...

I'm new to data binding, but I thought this is possible. I'm trying to pass
information from one cfgrid to another.
There is no error message, it's just that nothing shows up in the grid when I

I have a fairly long HTML page which produces a PDF via CFDocument, but this
apparently has a mind of its own, as it is not obeying the font sizes I put in.
