in reply to Perl to generate PDF
I have done it time and time again by using database provided data, Template::Toolkit templates and some Perl glue.
If you are not trying to automate making the document, just take any fairly capable wordprocessor and print the document out in PDF-format. There are a number of printer-drivers that will do that if your version of the wordprocessor cannot do it.

A program should be light and agile, its subroutines connected like a string of pearls. The spirit and intent of the program should be retained throughout. There should be neither too little or too much, neither needless loops nor useless variables, neither lack of structure nor overwhelming rigidity." - The Tao of Programming, 4.1 - Geoffrey James
