Given you mention AMFPHP with Flex, the usual case is an Adobe Flex client calling a PHP gateway. AMFPHP is a binary AMF remoting layer that is great for structured data but can add latency when you try to push large prebuilt PDFs end-to-end. A practical pattern is to keep AMF for data/control and let the server generate the PDF and expose it over HTTP for download — that avoids AMF serialization of large binary blobs and keeps the heavy work off the client. (amfphp.org)

For server-side generation, choose a tool that fits your templates and fidelity needs. Pure-PHP libraries such as TCPDF, mPDF and dompdf integrate directly into PHP apps and work well for many invoice/report use cases. For complex CSS or pixel-perfect print output, a headless renderer like wkhtmltopdf (or a headless Chromium workflow) usually produces more accurate results and can be faster for heavy HTML/CSS pages. (tcpdf.org)

Integration tips you can apply immediately: send only structured data from Flex, have PHP render the template or call the PDF library, save the file to a temp location, and return a small response with a download URL (or a job id if you queue the job). Cache frequently requested PDFs, use background jobs for slow reports, and profile the server (DB, template rendering, library CPU/memory) to find the real bottleneck. As indicated, server-side conversion is the right direction; and as noted, clarify which “Flex” you mean — if you really meant the lexical tool, the workflow would be different.

If you have control over the server, you could do something like php->latex->pdf.

Flex is a lexical analyzer. I suppose you could use it to convert php to pdf, but why? It is a totally inappropriate tool for the job. Most programming editors that can handle php can also generate (write) pdf documents from that text.
