DDX is supported only by LiveCycle Assembler. There are no open-source or
free products that support DDX. CF 8 bundles a restricted version of
LiveCycle Assembler.

nope not w/out breaking cfdocument, etc. though you could use javaLoader & go
merrily on your way.

Coldfusion uses itext when manipulating PDFs (dump created PDFs and you
should find the Producer is "iText 1.4 (by lowagie.com)"). I have a couple
questions about this:
1. Can I call iText directly? Are the libraries loaded in a manner that this
would work?
2. Can I update the iText libraries to 2.1 (or a newer version)
3. Has anybody found problems installing iText (different version than 1.4)
on a CF Server?
4. Is the foundation for LiveCycle iText as well?
5. Can somebody with LiveCycle find the Producer value in a PDF created by
LiveCycle and report back what it is?
This comes from the fact that I want to use pageoverlay or pageunderlay,
which are restricted DDX in CFPDF, and so I'm now looking at other options
(LiveCycle, iText, other).
Very open to suggestions from anyone who's got experience on this!
