How does Joomla fit into this question? It looks more like a script to create a PDF?
ASKER
Well my first goal is to be able to pull the data either by quering the mysql database on Joomla, or the classes in Joomla and display in a Joomla page, After that I need to create a pdf form with those retreived values..
Can you please help, at least give me a starting point on where to look this values ?

Here's what I use to accomplish that. (I have built extremely complex custom php pages for my company on more than 1 Joomla web application.)
1) Install Jumi.
http://extensions.joomla.org/extensions/edition/custom-code-in-content/1023
2) Create a custom php page and place it in this location:
components/com_jumi/files/
3) Go to Components and select Jumi Application
4) Click on "NEW"
5) Enter a title and the path to the custom page.
See Screen shot.
6) Create new menu item, use Jumi Application and point to custom file you created.
This should do the trick. If you have any problems, let me know.
