Create graphs with PHP and export to PDF

I'm looking for suggestions on creating graphs with PHP. I would also like to be able to export these graphs to a PDF document.

I am currently using google graphs but I don't like the idea of sending all my information to Google. I'd prefer my own in hosted solution.

I have seen a lot of Flash solutions but i'm not aware of any way to export the SWF's to PDF.

Any pointers greatly appreciated.

Thanks.

You can use Javascript, Highcharts is free for non-commercial usage. And it has PDF export options too.

Highcharts is a charting library written in pure JavaScript, offering an easy way of adding interactive charts to your web site or web application. Highcharts currently supports line, spline, area, areaspline, column, bar, pie and scatter chart types http://www.highcharts.com/

I've used the Google Charts API before and inserted them into pdfs using FPDF.
