PDF creation: CFDocument, iText; ColdFusion or Java libs?

Hi folks, I've been trying to refactor a long-running procedure that creates PDFs using CFDocument, then a 3rd-party tool (via CFExecute) to merge the PDFs to a single file in a specific order. After seeing discussion on this list regarding string manipulation being so much faster using direct calls to the java string lib, I'm wondering if I would see a parallel improvement in performance if I used iText directly rather than the CFDocument call. Since I know nothing about iText, I don't really want to go down that road unless I know that it will be worth it (performance-wise). I know there are few iText gurus on the list, maybe someone has some experience with this? Thanks, Kris
