Hello ,

you can build a xmlfile from your datagrid and send that to PHP
PHP save it on the Server and process a pdf out of it:

http://www.sitepoint.com/article/generate-pdfs-php

you can use the Forums search for >saving Xml< there are plenty of Threads covering this Issue

I dont think that you`ll need a excelfile you could also print the generated Pdf after processing.

I dont know if it is my typewriting magic but i am finding everything
with the use of the google mask i just typed > Php generate PDF and woops
there are plenty of thread covering just this Theme.

And if there is something i realy dont know and where i realy find no answer using Google
you can Post in here , thats what the Board is meant for

just a Hint to you for the next time to help your self

you need an SSL. PHP has a library that supports making pdf. I don't know about excel sheets.
