It's been awhile, but I have used both PDFInculde http://www.oehive.org/pdfinclude.html and HTMLtoPDF wkhtmltopdf to Create PDF.
Personally I like wkHTMLtoPDF

Sample code using wkhtmltopdf available here: GitHub - Jimbobnz/ABLwkHTMLtoPDF: Using wkHTMLtoPDF in the ABL
Download and install the wkhtmltopdf from the website (Linux or Windows).
Expected output would be like this :

Have a look to vpxPrint (former xPrint) at www.4GL.fr

I was paying around with Editable PDF forms created by wkHTMLtoPDF and it seems that it semi-works in Edge/Chrome but does not work in Adobe Acrobat Reader. Searching around the inter-webs, it seems that Adobe won't allow updating of editable PDF forms unless you use an Adobe product to create the original PDF document.
only we need to create PDF form for view and not require to edit the PDF form.

Being the maintainer for pdfInclude, I can help on this.
When you say pdf form, do you mean a pdf form with fields that a user can fill? (I understand that this is not the case)
Or do you want to create a form with a logo, then with 4GL fill it automatically?
Or just a document with a header (with logo and other data), plus data filled with 4GL, created from scratch?
In any case pdfInclude can help, see pdfInclude pdf generation framework for Progress OpenEdge
