Have you looked at using the cfpdf tag? One of it's options is to add watermarks to PDF documents.

From the docs here:

Add a watermark to a PDF document 

<cfpdf
required: 
    action = "addwatermark"
    source = "absolute or relative pathname to a PDF file|PDF document variable|cfdocument variable" 
one of the following: 
    copyfrom = "absolute or relative pathname to a PDF file from which the first page is used as a watermark" 
    image = "absolute or relative pathname to image file|image variable used as a watermark" 
optional:
    foreground = "yes|no"
    isBase64 = "yes|no"
    opacity = "watermark opacity"
    overwrite = "yes|no"
    pages = "page or pages to add the watermark"
    password = "user or owner password for the PDF source file"
    position = "position on the page where the watermark is placed"
    rotation = "degree of rotation of the watermark"
    showonprint = "yes|no">

Notice that the source attribute can be a cfdocument variable.
