Can't get cfdocumentitem type=header/footer to do much. (I'm making .pdf's, btw)
It prints the text, but that's about it. ... no images... no spacing... no fonts, colors or other styling whatsoever. It seems to ignore table tags, divs, and paragraph tags... doesn't want to display an image whether in image tags or styled as backgrounds ... tried using style tags and inline styles... Nothing seems to work. I just get a single, left-aligned, unstyled line of whatever text I had in the tables, paragraph tags, etc.
At this moment, text is the only thing allowed in header / footer. Its
really a limitation of the FlyingSaucer library that is used. I haven't
found a work around yet.

ouch. That's a significant issue for me. Got about 20 reports I'm gonna have to redesign.
In the past, we haven't been able to use cfdocument.currentpagenumber & totalpagecount for comparisons. (and if I remember correctly, can't use 'em outside of header/footer). If I could get access to those, I could likely craft my own headers/footers.
Alternately, could I drop in an iText library and fix anything? .. (even if I have to pay for it) That probably breaks with the open source philosophy, but my customers are less concerned with that than with good-looking quotes.

<div id="footer">
Footer information
</div>
<div class="content">
#event.getArg("layout.showrooms_usa")#
</div>
</cfdocument>
@Alan, is there a way we can parse the body for placeholders so we can use flying saucer notation with CSS3 and still have cfdocument.* access or something like it?
