I use Libharu4eu (but wrapped some more for Orac). It seems to do everything you want. Images are imported directly from files so logos are possible. It has fonts, borders, alignments, regions, .. I like the output. Page numbering is managed by your program rather than the library itself. Here is the top-level function for creating an invoice (that might span multiple pages) :

 
global function create(seq s) -- s contain the line data 
 
	-- init PDF library 
	init() 
 
	if not NewDoc() then return 0 end if -- must call NewDoc() so that page dimensions work.. 
 
	-- local init 
	define_regions() 
	init_data(s) 
 
	int PageNumber = 1 
 
	-- make report 
	while anydata() do 
 
		NewPage() 
 
		header() 
 
		name_address() 
 
		info(PageNumber) 
 
		invoice_lines() 
 
		sum() -- this is activated only when there is no more data 
 
		footer() 
 
		PageNumber += 1 
 
	end while 
 
	-- save to disk 
	save() 
 
	-- tidy up 
	EndDoc() 
 
	-- exit 
	return 1 
 
end function 
 

If you want I can bundle the code as a demo that you can modify to suit your requirements.
