You could also take a look at CMFReportTool. 
(http://svn.plone.org/view/collective/CMFReportTool/)

I have used it recently in a project and the code is imho really nice 
(the PDF generation code does not depend on CMF).

A nice aspect is the generation of PDF from PML (XML description of 
ReportLab objects). This allows you to easily define your PDFs with ZPTs.
