PHP is a good language for creating PDFs. There are two libraries you can use, PDFlib and ClibPDF. I have used PDFlib before and I can recommend it. Look in the PHP manual at PDFlib functions. Incidentally, if it's for a commercial project, then PDFlib or ClibPDF will probably need licensing. PDF is a great format, it's page independant, so you can load and view page 1 of the file, before you have downloaded page 2. It contains image handles, so you can insert an image on page 1 (say a logo), and then use a link to it on the second page (so you the file size only goes up a few bytes each time you add another copy of the picture). You can also print it directly. Mail me off list if you need to create a large number of PDFs quickly.
