I have read the docs I've found about PDF, but still haven't found anything about this:

Is there any functionality for generating PDF's "on the fly"? For instance having a link saying "View in PDF" the same way that we have "Print preview" with the layout/set/print?

Yes. :) To view a PDF version of the content go to yoursite.com/content/pdf/42 where 42 is the nodeid of your object. (The nodeid is shown in details for a node in the admin-interface)

Hi.

Since PDFs are a completely different medium than the web, it uses separate templates.

I suggest you check out this page:
