Generate PDF

Hi guys,
I would like to know if there is a way to generate pdf when clicking on a link. In fact, I would like to be able to click on a link and generate a pdf file with information from my database, say a profile of a client for example or an invoice.
I was able to generate a pdf using a basic tutorial. Here is the code:
Code: <?php
$mypdf = PDF_new();
PDF_open_file($mypdf, "");
PDF_begin_page($mypdf, 595, 842);
$myfont = PDF_findfont($mypdf, "Times-Roman", "host", 0);
PDF_setfont($mypdf, $myfont, 10);
PDF_show_xy($mypdf, "Sample PDF, constructed by PHP in real-time.", 50, 750);
PDF_show_xy($mypdf, "Made with the PDF libraries for PHP.", 50, 730);
PDF_end_page($mypdf);
PDF_close($mypdf);
$mybuf = PDF_get_buffer($mypdf);
$mylen = strlen($mybuf);
header("Content-type: application/pdf");
header("Content-Length: $mylen");
header("Content-Disposition: inline; filename=gen01.pdf");
print $mybuf;
PDF_delete($mypdf);
?>
But
1) it's seems to be pretty hard to have something that looks nice if I have to specify each item it location with X and Y
2) I have in the middle of the page: www.pdflib.com. I guess I have to pay for a licence to get rid of that but I went to the website and it's kind of expensive for me.
Do you know how an easier way to generate a pdf from my website and without having this "www.pdflib.com"? Is there another script out there or another lib?
Thanks
