We've done a bunch of document generation at work. This may or may not
be relevant to you, but FWIW, we pull stuff out of the database as XML,
and use Apache FOP in conjunction with an appropriate XSLT stylesheet to
transform the XML directly to PDF. FOP also has bacends for generating
PostScript, RTF and ASCII text so far.
