I've found a very easy unix command for generating PDF's:
code.google.com/p/wkhtmltopdf
[The PHP list wouldn't let me send this with "http://" in
front of the URL.]
It will turn any web page into a PDF and was easy to install and use and has
documentation. (I call it from a PHP script.) It renders the web page using
a WebKit library that's included in the source, and there are lots of
options for how to tweak the rendering engine.
