What about just setting up PHP so it has limited shell access and having the program execute ps2pdf (or another suitable alternative) on the Web server?
Unfortunately it's for variable data PDFs (in this case ordering business cards). So I need to do more than just convert documents from one format to another.
I think this is the library I'm going to use: http://www.ros.co.nz/pdf/
I'm still not sure how it's going to handle different fonts (and I don't know for sure what kind of fonts the client wants to be able to use).

But is it possible that whatever other software you are using has printing or PS output capability. In that case, you can just have it output postcript or print to a file. You can then either have a script or someother program monitor the output directory for new .ps files and then run them through ps2pdf. Just an idea.
