How do I create a Dynamic PDF in ColdFusion

Question

I am using ColdFusion CS4 and I need to create a dynamic PDF certificate for the user when they finish a short test.
Their name is in a session var and should dynamically enter in to the Name field of the certificate as well as the date.
The user can print The PDF certificate, which must be protected to Allow Print only.
I have a PDF created in Adobe Lifecycle Designer. This contains all the data and a text field Name and Data that needs the dynamic input from ColdFusion.
<cfpdfform action="populate" source="certificate.pdf">
      <cfpdfsubform name="form1">
            <cfpdfsubform name="page1">
                  <cfpdfformparam name="employeeName" value="John Hollings" />
                  <cfpdfformparam name="date" value="#dateformat(now(), 'dd mmmm, yyyy')#" />
                  <cfpdfformparam name="submitURL" value="#CGI.SCRIPT_NAME#" />
                  </cfpdfsubform>
      </cfpdfsubform>
</cfpdfform>
Thsi work but the PDF textFields are open to edit, I need to lock down the PDF so only printing can operate...
No Copy of data
No Saving the file (if possible)
Only print and close

Unfortunately, I am not using Acrobat 9/LiveCycle. So I cannot really provide any specifics there. For usage questions, you might try asking on the Acrobat/LiveCycle forums.   But from CF's perspective, the key is the form's _format_.  Acrobat (AcroForms) and LiveCycle forms are two totally different formats internally.  (Like MS Office 2007 files versus MS Office 2003 files). To flatten a form from CF, it must be an AcroForm:

Well as I mentioned, you can use cfpdf or ddx to set whatever permissions you need. The default is "All" (ie all actions are allowed) but you can restrict the permissions by passing in a list of which permissions _should_ be allowed. Anything not included in the list will be restricted.
<cfpdf permissions="None" ...>   OR
<cfpdf permissions="AllowPrinting" ...>  OR
<cfpdf permissions="AllowPrinting,AllowCopy" ...>  OR
