Yes, PDFs in PHP are quite straightforward.

PHP provides its own set of PDF functions documented at:
http://www.php.net/manual/en/ref.pdf.php

Or, my preference is to use the FPDF classes from: http://fpdf.org/ which
includes some tutorials.

Also try searching for PDF on http://www.phpbuilder.net as we frequently
discuss it.

Richard
