How to export a large amount of data to pdf (MySQl, PHP)?

Question

PDF

Hello. Tell me who came across
There is MySQL, there is a VPS / VDS server, there is Yii2.
It is necessary to upload more than 1000 pictures in PDF (priority is one file, but if this is not realistic, then several) (and this is not a chapel). The size of the pictures is about 300-400kb. Naturally, you can’t do with ordinary libraries, the server goes to 504. Are there libraries that can split the pdf generation into several steps or into different streams, save it on the server (optional), and then upload it.
The generation time and the final volume do not play a role, the main thing is the result)
