No problem.
If the rest of the PDF is easy to create, or can be just a JPEG, you can
just use libpdf.
First, you'll need some kind of counter. Probably trivial to do it with
MySQL, right?
Then, use the PDF library and http://php.net/pdf_show_boxed to paste in the
Serial #.
You could also look into fdf as well, if the rest of the PDF file is really
complicated.
