I'm not up to speed on the JS client stuff yet, but out of curiosity I also looked at Michael's new TN0025.  This memory printing sounds very cool. . .

"PDFDevice has become even faster with the introduction of memory printing in version 3. By directly printing to a binary variable, one can produce PDF data at lightning speed and return it to the client in PDF mime format without ever touching the hard-disk."

"All that remains to be done is to make an ultra- thin call into the task from the JS Client to fetch the PDF data for display. This can be achieved with the $cinst.$showurl() notation."

Being able to make and display PDF content and not have to write it to disk sounds like a good thing.  Worth investigating further. . .

FYI,

Kelly
