Need CMS with available module to create document on fly

Need CMS with available module to create document on fly, and I'm wondering if Drupal will do it. My client wants a website where the website user can enter their personal information, and the CMS will fill the document with that information and let them print it or email it to them in a .pdf file. The user will pay through an ecommerce module of some sort and this will release the document to them. The client has all the documents in fillable .pdf now.
I'm willing to invest the time in Drupal if it is the right solution, but don't want to invest that much time right now if it is not. If it is not, then which CMS or other system would best handle this situation?
Thanks for all of your help. It is much appreciated.
yes. for drupal, just a piece
yes. for drupal, just a piece of cake.
1. data input
use webform
2. output as pdf
use fillpdf
3. member management
use user (core function)
4. email to client
use email (core function)
5. payment
Paypal, Ubercart, ECommerce
what u need to consider is the payment scheme.
how much u want your user to pay for each pdf? US$1? US$10? US$100?
Please note that for small amount of money, the credit card payment gateway service company will take away 99% of the money.
For transaction amount less than $10 (each time), my advance is User Point.
Good day.
We go the drupal way. How about you?

thanks!
Great advice, I really appreciate it. My main concern was if drupal could handle what I needed it to do, since I will have to invest some time learning the system. These are going to be legal documents, and as such will cost $50+ per document, customized.
So you are saying that with the email module, you can attach the premade document to it to send out? Since using fillpdf, will that document then be in a static .pdf file, so that the end user cannot modify it and sell it themselves? It seems like the capability is there, but I have so much to learn!
$50 per document? are u
$50 per document? are u saying Tax return?
regarding pdf, as u should know, the acrobat reader can only read the pdf, but not modify it.
drupal + pdf = a big topic
good luck.
