PHP has functions for PDF generation. You can't simply convert HTML to PDF though.

I just started using the mpdf library, and it's quite nice (and free), you can use (a bit limited) html+css, ttf fonts, headers/footers, table of contents, index, and more.

Examples.

At work we use html2ps, which has one big advantage over all the other solutions: You don't need to write PDF specific code but can re-use the HTML you generated anyway. Also, this is easier to debug and automatically spreads the contents on several pages.

To generate a PDF-File using PHP is a task which is often done using a PHP-Library like:

These two projects are the most common and both are up to date (support UTF-8 for example) and free. If you already use one of the above, please be more specific about what problem you're facing and what error-messages come up.

Both those library's use pure PHP to generate the PDF so you don't need to have "PDFlib" installed, which is used by the standard PDF-functions offered by PHP.
