I assume that PurePDF is on your radar? I recently had to generated PDFs in Arabic, and this worked really well. The only thing that was a bit tricky was automatic pagination. If I recall correctly, it also did references w/o issue.
It was pretty low-level; you could not give it HTML, and have it spit out PDFs, you kinda have to manage everything, including fonts (embedded or system). On the upside, there is an example of how to do just about anything that it is capable of, which is how I got Arabic working pretty quickly.
