At the moment we're using a free PHP class called FPDF
http://www.fpdf.org

Works well for dynamically creating our order forms.
Problem is it did take time to get the layout set up the way we wanted.

It doesn't support CSS though, but I notice that dompdf does so I might
look in to that to make things easier for us to change our order form
designs.
