First GOOGLE IS YOU FRIEND. Now recite that 10 times and continue on.

1and1 dose not allow connection to your database from any other source
then their web servers (not sure if they restrict it also to only where
you site is being hosted, I should try that though). This is simply for
security and a good policy in my mind.

As for you PDF problem you need to find a PDF creator that is just
users a base class (that is said really badly but have a look at the
links below). Hopefully one of the following will do what you need:

http://sourceforge.net/projects/pdf-php

http://www.ros.co.nz/pdf/

(first 2 links on a Google search with "pdf php")
