I've been working on an interface for a client, and I'm having a hard time finding anything out there similar to it.
Has anybody here seen a low-bandwidth, shopping cart enabled, searchable, cross-indexed, auto-scaling, real-time price updates from a database, zoomable, browser rendered HTML text web page generated from a PDF file?

No Microsoft electrons were bruised in this process.
I seriously doubt you'll find anything like this online as most people wouldn't want to use a PDF as a data source for something like this.
It's typically easier to just have the data in the database and build a normal e-commerce/catalog site from that data. I would also assume that the site and PDF would have to be heavily configured to work correctly.
