For simple PDF take a look at FPDF library, for more advanced features check tcPDF and mPDF.

I use wkhtmltopdf its a very simple command line tool which makes a pdf file from your HTML sources.

From your script you can call it with exec or you can google for helper classes.

I like it and the CSS support is very cool.
