I'm in the process of building a web application and will need to create documentation on a customer by customer basis. These files will be saved in pdf format.

I'm looking for help in the process and production of these reports, should I use a doc/docx template and load that data into the file then create the pdf (if it is possible), or create the document in html/css and then use dompdf or something similar to create the pdf?

I'm using codeigniter as my framework.
