It might be overkill for your purposes, but you might want to explore
pdftex in Tex (or LaTeX), available for both Linux and Windows.
Create a string to write to a file, adding these header calls at the
top, massaged to your needs:
$outputStr = "\\documentclass[10pt,fleqn]{article}\n";
$outputStr .= "\\usepackage[cp850]{inputenc}\n";
$outputStr .= "\\usepackage{textcomp}\n";
$outputStr .= "\\setlength{\textwidth}{19.05cm}\n";
$outputStr .= "\\setlength{\oddsidemargin}{-2.0cm}\n";
$outputStr .= "\\setlength{\textheight}{26.5cm}\n";
$outputStr .= "\\setlength{\topmargin}{-1.9cm}\n";
$outputStr .= "\\setlength{\headheight}{0.0cm}\n";
$outputStr .= "\\setlength{\topskip}{0.0cm}\n";
$outputStr .= "\\begin{document}\n";
$outputStr .= "\\pagestyle{empty}\n";
$outputStr .= "\\begin{verbatim}\n";
$outputStr .= "Then append to the string whatever you want, including
variables for interpolation, formatted however you want. (Sprintf
works really well for alignment, etc...). The verbatim call above
leaves in place all text placement on the page.";
$outputStr .= "Then close the string with these commands...";
$outputStr .= "\\end{verbatim}\n";
$outputStr .= "\\end{document}\n";
Write to a file:
$fh = fopen("FileName.tex", "w");
fwrite($fh, $outputStr);
fclose($fh);
`pdflatex FileName.tex`; // ( properly escaped, of course...)
and FileName.pdf is created.
You can also do a lot of really fancy formatting, but the learning
curve can be pretty steep.
