I haven't tried doing what you're trying to do, but you might try Appligent Software , however a lot of their stuff is far from free, but it does work well and they have excellent support response times.

Also try checking out PDFZone

Most of the free pdf stuff I was able to find was really barebones stuff in regards to converting/merging existing pdfs. If you want to generate PDFs from data you can parse try checking out PDFlib.

PS
my mother thanks you for your kind word.
