PHP and PDF (or pretty reports)

I have a web based application that tracks all sorts of student data.

I am currently fighting (for my life!) a report that would produce report cards for students.
PDF is preferred, just because it is so cross-platform dependable.
But how would I structure that? I am looking at some PDF classes, but don't know enough, I guess.

In layman's terms:

QueryDB -> Get me all the kids in Grade 7 and all their Grades

Now print each kid and his/her grades on a new page.

I am willing to cough up money if that is what is needed!

Thanks for reading.

Doug

look at fdpf. It's a pretty good library for making dynamic pdf pages.

It takes a little getting used to, but once you get the hang of it, it's pretty straight forward.
