Creating PDF's on the fly

I have developed a website that needs to create a number of reports in PDF format using data produced in PHP. I also need to create debit and credit notes based in PDF based on information calculated by the website.

I have tried a method of developing templates in QuarkXpress, exporting as PDF, with data tags in the positions where that I want populated by data from the website i.e. data_account_no where I need the account number to be.

This has worked to a point, but is very unstable. Letters are omitted, numbers are missing etc.

Is there another way of doing this??

Thanks in advance

Use one of the PHP libraries that create PDF documents directly - PDFlib, TCPDF, FPDF, etc.
