Default generating PDFs

Hey guys, what methods do you use to generate PDFs with php? I was trying to create some rpg character sheets but it as you know it's impossible make print versions with css/html.

I hadn't planned on trying to make PDFs so soon on this project but now seems like a good time to try.

A quick Google search led me to http://www.php.net/manual/en/ref.pdf.php

So you don't do pdfs, just google search's about them. There are several methods, I wanted to know which people have found most useful.

I am leaning toward tcpdf.
