How to create PDF through PHP where data is gathered from MySQL and it is in Rich Text Format

Question

I am extracting Rich Text data from MySQL and want to create a pdf from it. I am able to create a script where I have say only bold, italics, underlined one. It gets a much harder when the data has span tags with text color and background-colors, nesting of lists etc. Is there a way where pdf can be generated by just giving html page as an input? As the data contains tags.
