Why ColdFusion? Built-in Functions for Creating/Interacting with PDF files

On DZone today, I saw two posts today about how to generate PDF files. One technique used a Java library called iText to create the PDF, the other looks like it uses Python.

ColdFusion developers don't need to worry about choosing a library or a 3rd-party application to generate PDF files: CF comes with functions/tags for creating PDF documents out of HTML, concatenating several PDF files into a single file, and writing information to and from PDF form files.

I don't currently have much need to use the PDF functions in ColdFusion, but it's nice to know they are there when I do need them.
