Print a webpage to pdf document using php
Think wkhtmltopdf is the answer you are looking for as it uses WebKit to render the webpage just like it would look in a browser and then converts it to a PDF. This saves you writing a load of PHP code to organise the layout of your PDF.
Details from their site:
For code and more information on wkhtmltopdf integration with PHP see https://github.com/aur1mas/WkhtmltopdfSimple shell utility to convert html
to pdf using the webkit rendering
engine, and qt.Searching the web, I have found
several command line tools that allow
you to convert a HTML-document to a
PDF-document, however they all seem to
use their own, and rather incomplete
rendering engine, resulting in poor
quality. Recently QT 4.4 was released
with a WebKit widget (WebKit is the
engine of Apples Safari, which is a
fork of the KDE KHtml), and making a
good tool became very easy.

- Adding headers and footers (static version only)
- TOC generation (static version only)
- Batch mode conversions
- (Linux) No longer requires an XServer to be running (however the X11
client libs must be installed)

Print webpage as PDF in PHP
I suggest mpdf. I'ts very simple, you can create your html as string and render it as pdf.
require_once("mpdf/mpdf.php");
$html = "<p>Hello World</p>";
$mpdf = new mPDF('c', 'A4');
$mpdf->WriteHTML($html);
print $mpdf->Output();
