The Memoir package is very flexible for your custom layouts. Xetex uses your system fonts (installed with TexLive).

There are several products that will create a PDF file. I've used the Reporting Builder for Coldfusion myself and it might not be practical / available for your application. If your budget allows me to look into a commercial reporting product. I know Adobe has several that will generate Flash, FlashPaper or PDF output.
