Answer 1

Try TCPDF. It is simple and powerful enough.

Answer 2

Two options, one is paid and another open source. Both are good, and well documented.

1. PDFLib
2. FPDF

I would suggest starting with FPDF, and then learning/moving to PDFLib

Answer 3

Using DOMPDF .

Example Code :

<?php
    require_once("dompdf/dompdf_config.inc.php");

    $html = "<h1>some document</h1>";

    $dompdf = new DOMPDF();
    $dompdf->load_html($html);  
    $dompdf->set_paper('A4');
    $dompdf->render();
    $dompdf->stream("pdfReport.pdf");
?>
