I have used the Grails Rendering plugin for generating PDFs from Grails. Easy to use and generates from a GSP uses iText under the covers.

https://plugins.grails.org/plugin/grails/rendering

Here is how it is called and templates start with a underscore:

response.setHeader('Content-Disposition', 'inline; filename="Case_Summary_'+selectedCase+'.pdf"')

renderPdf(template: "print", model: [selectedCase: selectedCase, locationList: locationList])

Here is the top of the GSP with some iText settings:

<!DOCTYPE html PUBLIC "-//W3C//DTD XHTML 1.0 Strict//EN" "http://www.w3.org/TR/xhtml1/DTD/xhtml1-strict.dtd">
<html>
<head>
    <title>Case ${selectedCase} Summary</title>
    <style  type="text/css">
    @page {
        size: 8.5in 11in;
        margin: 0.25in;
        counter-increment: page;
        @bottom-right { content: "Created <g:formatDate format='MM/dd/yyyy hh:mm a' date="${new Date()}"/>"};
        @bottom-left { content: "Page " counter(page);};
    }
    body {
        font-family: 'Arial', 'sans-serif';
        font-size: 9pt;
    }
    </style>
</head>

Maybe you could use Grails Jasper Plugin and create a jasper report with the same format as your GSP and then export it to PDF.
