Include a ColdFusion report template in another ColdFusion report template

Is there a way to include / migrate PDF data created from a ColdFusion template inside another ColdFusion template, or a cfdocument tag?

I work with a system that generates many different reports, some of them are created from .CFR templates, others are created using cfdocument / cfdocumentitem tags with HTML inside.

What I need to do is add a header and footer to each report, which should look the same everywhere.

My first idea was to create header + footer as a separate .pdf file, adjust the scale / fields in existing reports, and then use DDX and PageOverlay to combine the report with the header + footer file. However, this will not work because ColdFusion does not support PageOverlay.

My second idea was to create a header and footer in HTML and then insert header + content + footer. This works with reports created from HTML, but not with reports created from .CFR templates, because I cannot find a way to combine HTML code and generated PDF data in the same report. Rewriting all reports as HTML is not an option.

Any ideas?

What version of CF are you working with? You can now add headers and footers to PDF using CFPDF with the addheader / addfooter attribute.
