Answer 1

You could start by typing "PHP create pdf" into google:

• http://php.net/manual/en/book.pdf.php
• http://www.devarticles.com/c/a/PHP/Use-PHP-to-Create-Dynamic-pdf-Files/
• http://www.weberdev.com/get_example-4804.html

Generally you want to get started on your own, and then come ask questions if you hit a particular snag. This question is far too general.

Answer 2

If you use Zend Framework, or you don't mind using it, it provides a simple api named Zend_Pdf.

Answer 3

Use pdflib or fpdf, or any other library to generate PDF documents.

For generating Ms-word documents you can use a library to generate .doc file, wether in XML form office 2007+ or old doc format, write office XML from scratch (not so trivial).

Or, and its sound crazy but it is the simpliest way to do msword documents : create HTML and rename the file to .doc, msword opens it transparently and you can play with CSS (with the same limitations as in outlook 2007) to custom document styling.
