printing invoice batches in a web app.

I have a system where a group is selected and invoices need to be printed for everyone in that group. I remember this sort of thing used to be done in MS Word where there was a standard template that would take input from a file of some sort to replace fields in that template.. well, I'm sure you guys get the idea. Now I need to do something like this in a web app.
Right now I'm thinking of doing it by creating a pdf file with PDFLib in php with a document page for each person/printed invoice. I'm having some problems creating PDFs, so if you have any experience with it in PHP, please share.
But aside from that, any suggestions as to how to implement a solution for this? The only server-side language I'm using for this project is PHP, so please no solutions in perl, asp, or whatever else :)
Thanks.
