Maybe... HTML and PDF are document formats. PHP is not a document 
format, but a scripting language, which can output any formats.

Yes, i.e. they do exactly what you want to do. You have some data, which 
you want to present to your users. You use PHP to organize the data in 
one format or another. If you want to use PDF format, then yes, you 
"prepare PDF document". You can use HTML too, together with CSS, and...

... there actually are page breaks: http://www.w3.org/TR/CSS21/page.html 
CSS can be used with paged media too, not just screen.
