Take a look at Zend_Pdf from the Zend_Framework. The good thing about Zend_Framework is that you can add just the parts of it you need. The modules seldom have dependency on each other.

I suggest FPDF

FPDF is a PHP class which allows to generate PDF files with pure PHP, that is to say without using the PDFlib library. F from FPDF stands for Free: you may use it for any kind of usage and modify it to suit your needs.
