I'm currently using this CF/FDF method with CF and it works great. http://www.mail-archive.com/cf-talk@houseoffusion.com/msg32040.html Several years ago I built a dynamic PDF in WebCatalog by converting the PDF to ASCII and then putting my WC markup {[variable]) in the PDF, and then feed it to WC with an [include]. I would not however reccomend this method because any change needed to the original PDF requires one to do the entire conversion to ASCII and replace variables each time.

Thierry, Here's an example using ColdFusion that I'm sure can be adapted to WebCatalog.
