The problem with server-side PDF generation is that it's compute-intensive,
we had a whole separate server that did nothing but serve-up PDF, and it was
still inadequate at peak load. The operation just didn't scale well at all.

So we went to client-side tools, we bundle a license for PDFMachine with
each subscription, it's inexpensive, it's output (so far as we've seen,
across many thousands of PDF's) is flawless, and it's faster than Adobe's
solution. Can't say enough good things about it!
