Once again, Zend Framework strikes : Zend_Pdf is a PDF (Portable Document Format) manipulation engine

Don't forget that Zend Pdf is appliacable to use in NON-Zend environment. Most of Zend componemts are easy pluggable to any PHP application.

Thus it can help any PHP driven application to dynamically create PDF documents by modifying existing templates or generating new ones from scratch. [...]

If your webserver is Unix, use the pdftotext utlity to dump the PDF to text, then display it how you want it. It's not going to have the formatting, but the text will be available.
