I have used pdflib EXTENSIVELY for over a year. I develop products for a company who sells web based tools that allow medium/large corporations to automate the creation of advertising materials. These tools are used by the companies dealers and franchieses. We chose pdflib because of a few unique capabilities it had when working with fonts and other strict standards in the printing world. FPDF,CLIBPDF(I think) and a few others were not as advanced at the time either. My other concern was that I wanted to go with a stable company. I plan on revisiting these as they showed fairly good promise last year, but I haven't investigated them much since.
Depending on your project requirements, it is possible to find a web host that has pdflib capabilities.
