Generate PDF report from php

If you need UTF support in your PDF file, consider tcpdf library.

Download it from here: http://www.tecnick.com/public/code/cp_dpage.php?aiocp_dp=tcpdf

And in your script:

<?php
//include files
require_once($_SERVER['DOCUMENT_ROOT'].'/tcpdf/config/lang/eng.php');
require_once($_SERVER['DOCUMENT_ROOT'].'/tcpdf/tcpdf.php');

// create new PDF document
$pdf = new TCPDF(PDF_PAGE_ORIENTATION, PDF_UNIT, PDF_PAGE_FORMAT, true, 'UTF-8', false); 

//add some content using class methods

//Close and output PDF document
$pdf->Output('filename.pdf', 'I');
?>

Look into html2pdf

Create your report as html and then run the code to transform into PDF. You don't need to know the language to generate the PDF blocks. Submitted forms work out cool too.
