One would think that Adobe would have or is working on a product to
meet just this sort of need -- if not, they probably should be.
There is a Lexus website which does something similar to what you're
describing:
http://weblogs.macromedia.com/xd/archives/2005/11/envisioning_con.cfm
At the end of the article: "I've asked around, and while an interface
to choose from particular pdf files is common, no-one has seen a
system which appears to generate a custom-content pdf on the fly."
There are some other examples in the comments.

All,
I'm working on an RIA using Flash. One of the requirements is that, at
the end of the "experience," the user should be able to
create/download a PDF containing a bunch of charts, graphs, tables,
and text, all customized based on her inputs.
I've looked into g.wygonik's blazePDF. While this looks like an
awesome component, I don't think it's robust enough to do everything
I'll need - the PDF output I'm expecting may easily run to 20+ pages
of complex charts - drawing each page line-segment at a time may not
be feasible. Plus, the appearance of the output is critical - all
kinds of curves, gradients, etc. - the "fancy stuff."
Another requirement is that the PDF should "pull-in" a few
pre-generated PDFs and incorporate them into the output file.
I'm guess I'm looking for a server-side solution.
I don't even really know if anything like this is possible, but if
anyone has any insights, tips, or experience they could share, I'd
greatly appreciate it.
