help with document print

Hi guys,
i'm trying to make a website for a jewelery so the user can print
warranties for every jewel it sold.

My first try was: let the user create an openoffice document with
variable placeholder {tag} that I substitute with the real value of $tag
and then open the document (with mimetype application/vnd. ...) for print.

Now user want to be able to insert formatting and styles to the text so
I can't mantain the same structure if I user FCKeditor or similar
because these products returns a string with HTML code inside that I
have to translate to OO.

I want to use pdf that is more standard in web application but I don't
want to create the document "by hand" because it's a user task!

So if there's some methods to take a pdf template (made by user) and
substitute placeholders inside with an HTML formatted text, I'll be happy.

Any of you as some hint?
