I regularly generate PDF files with Cairo (cairo2 in opam).  Example

    let cr = Cairo.create (Cairo.PDF.create "cloud.pdf" 600. 400.) in
    (* draw *)
    Cairo.Surface.finish (get_target cr)

For reasons of better portability and easiness, you should use

ocamlfind ocamlopt -package cairo2 wander.ml -o wander


Hope it helps,
