google PDFliblite - its a free version of a commercial library that
gives you the tools to make a reasonable PDF page.

Its not to be used for profit - then you should buy the commercial version.
You may need to install a few fonts on your web server as well as the
library and the PHP library shims if you want to use fonts other than
the basic postcript ones. All of this is a bit clunky, but once there it
works.
here is a library in PDF I created to print, download or email invoices
as PDF attachments. Using the PDFliblite functions as primitives.

Ineptocracy
(in-ep-toc’-ra-cy) – a system of government where the least capable to
lead are elected by the least capable of producing, and where the
members of society least likely to sustain themselves or succeed, are
rewarded with goods and services paid for by the confiscated wealth of a
diminishing number of producers.
