Creating PDFs with dynamic content w/ PDF Lite?

We have PHP Version 5.3.10 with PDFlib GmbH Version 7.0.5, PECL Version 2.1.8, and Revision $Revision: 1.5.2.18 $. I need to output a PDF with user data from the database. I'm new to PHP in general and never worked with the PDF library.

Where's a good tutorial on doing this (using PHP 5 PDFLib)? A lot of sites I've found have outdated references and the one on the PHP isn't meant for a newbie learning it.

I appreciate the help!

FPDF is dead simple and their site has some good tutorials. Where are you getting stuck?

Just saw on its tutorials that it can't handle users generating a couple hundred PDFs, so FPDF isn't an option with its limitations.

So: good tutorial for a newbie on creating PDFs with PHP 5? With dynamic content?
