Can I ask what software anyone would recommend for php/mysql users? ActivePDF does not appear to support this server model. I am wanting to create pdf's on the fly, based on user selection from a mysql database. It needs to be able to work on both Windows and Linux. I was hoping to get something quick to learn, that can support advanced sql queries. I would be really grateful for any assistance anyone could offer.

Are you adding a page for each item or are the items being added to pages as the user selects?
