Have you looked at http://www.plpdf.com/  ?

My experience with generating PDF from Oracle is limited to Perl.
(what else :)

Generating PDF's is a non-trivial exercise.  The Perl module I used was
created by someone else, and I wouldn't want to attempt that from scratch.

Even with a library, generating PDF documents is not very straight forward.

The plpdf product is $600 per database, with a free, but limited, eval
version.

Might be worth checking out.
