We use Python to transform TEI into ODT, and then trust the open office PDF converter. Using ODT as "middleware" has the advantage that styling and lay-out issues be dealt with via ODT styles, which is not all that demanding. 

FWIW, this route is also available via OxGarage  @ http://oxgarage.oucs.ox.ac.uk:8080/ege-webclient/, which
does TEI to ODT using an XSL transform, and then uses a headless OO to make PDF. Usual caveats about
impossibility of supporting every TEI variation apply, of course

I amused myself by trying this  on a random ECCO text (cf last weeks announcement about these becoming available),
