Why would you convert them to PDF on the fly??? If you wanted to show really hi-res images, yes PDF would result in *slightly* smaller files, in *some cases*, but for standard web stuff, why not consider the humble compressed JPG? Whatever format, the file is gonna be huge if they're trying to read a scan of a magazine page...!
As far as the PDF thing goes, I would generate your PDFs on your desktop machine, and load them onto the site via FTP -- there is no point generating PDFs on the on-the-fly if the content is static (ie, you'll only ever need to generate it once). Plus, you'll need PDFlib, not GD for that.
