Encounters with domPDF of the 1st kind

While working with one of my clients, there was a requirement to generate PDF dynamically.
Since the project was done in PHP, I had to naturally look for something that worked well with PHP.
A little search and I came up with the following options :
- FPDF (http://www.fpdf.org/)
- ezPDF (http://www.ros.co.nz/pdf/)
- PDFlib (http://www.pdflib.com/products/pdflib-7-family/pdflib/)
- domPDF (http://code.google.com/p/dompdf/)
But some of the hurdles were:
- The PDF generated would be using an external style sheet.
- There would be complex table structures.
- There should be no dependency on external library.
