AlivePDF, PurePDF and actionscript 3.0

Question

Hi there,
I hope someone can help.. I have created a label generator, basicly the first page is a series of questions, the next page is a rosette and results graphic based on the answers given, this has been done with actionscript 3.0 ( the calculation, of  the answers from the form, activating the graphics (movie_clips) etc.). the next stage is to generate a PDF (of the results page with the rosette and results graphic on it) which can be downloaded or sent. on the surface it seems a relatively simple task, however, the more research i do, the larger the iceberg, i seem to encounter..
my first question is: is this acheivable through alivePDF/PurePDF, is it a pure actionscript 3.0 solution and would i need to reference the libraries, and require read/write/execute permissions (on the web server), does it matter as to the operating system of the web server?
are there any tutorials to steer me in the right direction of how to implement such a solution?
Kind regards
Keith
NB if this is in the wrong forum, i do apologize.

Here's a super rudimentary example to generate a PDF using PurePDF:
// click anywhere
package {
    import flash.display.Sprite;
    import flash.events.Event;
    import flash.events.MouseEvent;
    import flash.net.FileReference;
    import flash.utils.ByteArray;
    import org.purepdf.elements.Paragraph;
    import org.purepdf.pdf.PageSize;
    import org.purepdf.pdf.PdfDocument;
    import org.purepdf.pdf.PdfWriter;
    import org.purepdf.pdf.fonts.BaseFont;
    import org.purepdf.pdf.fonts.FontsResourceFactory;
    import org.purepdf.resources.BuiltinFonts;
    public class PurePDFExample extends Sprite {
        public function PurePDFExample():void {
            stage.addEventListener(MouseEvent.CLICK, stageClick);
        private function stageClick(e:MouseEvent):void {
            generatePDF();
        private function generatePDF():void {
            FontsResourceFactory.getInstance().registerFont(BaseFont.HELVETICA, new BuiltinFonts.HELVETICA());
            var bytes:ByteArray = new ByteArray();
            var writer:PdfWriter = PdfWriter.create(bytes, PageSize.A4);
            var document:PdfDocument = writer.pdfDocument;
            document.open();
            document.add(new Paragraph("Hello World!"));
            document.close();
            new FileReference().save(bytes);
