Hi Guys,

Thanks for the suggestions. Right now as I have a limited time, I am authenticating the users, grabbing the data from mysql, outputting it as SVG and HTML, and then converting it to pdf, I have decided to continue using TCPDF. After a few revisions most of the bugs I have complained about were fixed, and I have created custom (hackish) workarounds for those that would just take too long to wait for. In addition to the bug fixes, after a few server reconfigurations, including increasing available memory and allotted processing power, everything is working quite well. It's only a few thousand PDFs in total per run, plus what the Reps and clients will be having generated on demand, so a few server instances running simultaneously can take care of that in very little time.

OT: As the client uses illustrator (I told them they should look into inkscape), I also found a bug with Illustrator's SVG import/export features too and reported it to Adobe; yet, even though this is a simple bug to fix, I am not holding my breath to hear back from their devs. It is funny that one guy can fix tons of bugs; yet, a team at Adobe won't fix it, even if it's a security issue, for months. Open source rocks. I am going to donate a little to the TCPDF project cause the guy has been so amazing.

Thanks,
Anthony

OT: No experience scripting Open Office, but in my experience using it, the PDF exporter sucks. I normally install a PDF printer like CutePDF and use that to render my PDF's as the OO one can't seem to render my documents without nasty artifacts, jaggy fonts and just poor quality overall.

Maybe script it with Openoffice?
