I'm wanting to know of a good way to somehow take an HTML/Formatted Text document (Can be either one, or other) and make it into a PDF.

However, I don't want software for windows that does it. This is going to be transformed into a webapp that will dynamically create the PDF files.

The PHP PDF extension is just awful. I hate toying around with X & Y coordinates. A different API is acceptable (Preferrably PHP and preferrably free of licensing ... however, if I'm introduced to one that has all the features we need, we can pay for it).

Comments and suggestions are welcome. If my question is not clear, let me know and I will attempt to clarify.
