I need to generate reports in my PHP website (in zend framework)

Formats required:

PDF (with tables & images) // presently using Zend_Pdf
XLS (with tables & images)
DOC (with tables & images)
CSV (only tables)

Please recommend robust and fast solution for generating reports in PHP.

Platform: Zend Framework on LAMP

I know there are some tricky solutions for creating such reports, i wonder is there any open source report generation utility that can be used with LAMP environment
