Hi Santhosh, Cool!. Just have some feedback on the generated PDF (Same article ilangai on tamil wikipedia). I see line spacing is not uniform and some characters from adjacent lines overlap, but a slightly more important issue is spacing within the words for certain characters[Am not sure if its a repeatable pattern for a particular charater], but certainly it takes a toll on readability since it gives space with in a word. I am not sure if its a tamil specific issue too.
Tested on Windows XP with Firefox where tamil wikipedia reads fine.
