There's a webservice called DocRaptor that uses Prince to generate pdf and xls from html. They offer a free plan as well as larger paid plans.

Have a look at the dompdf class. It generates the pdf from your html code so it's much easier and quicker to get the results you want. It's still a bit finicky with floats so you have to imagine your are in the 90's and do a table based design.

Answer 4

My advice is to print out the table in html, than convert in into pdf: is easier, faster, and more flexible: when you have the html documents, will be easy (for example) convert into a jpg, if you'll need to in the future.
If you can install software on your server, i raccomend you wkhtmltopdf.
You generate the html file, and wkhtmltopdf convert it to pdf, with full (webkit based) css support.
Else, i've found that html2ps doeas a great job, but is quite slower with large files.. css support is good, but no guarantee that it will support css3, for example.
