Creating Printable Pages
It’s long been a hassle to easily generate printable content from within Web pages, and this is a source of serious aggravation for Web application developers (all developers, not just ColdFusion developers). Considering that a very significant chunk of Web application development tends to be data reporting and presentation type applications, this is a big problem.
The truth is, Web browsers just don’t print Web pages properly, so developers have had to resort to complex and painful work-arounds to put content in a printable format.
ColdFusion solves this problem simply with the <cfdocument> family of tags.
