Not sure about SVG (would be cool) or WMF.  I think there's some 
information in the archives regarding SVG.  PDF output is possible from 
MapServer (there is a shp2pdf utility), but you have more flexibility 
with PHP MapSscript and libpdf.  I've been doing this in my PHP app and 
it's working well.  There was also a message this morning about the same 
thing...there is a new Wiki entry covering the general method at 
http://mapserver.gis.umn.edu/cgi-bin/wiki.pl?PHPMapscriptPDF.
