PDFXMLRPC enables client-server PDF creation from text over the Internet or an intranet, running over XML-RPC and HTTP. It consists of a library that you can use to create an XML-RPC PDF server, a library that you can use to create an XML-RPC PDF client, and clients created using these libraries. The client can send text to the server repeatedly, using XML-RPC method calls. The server converts that text to PDF content, and in response to a different method call from the client, sends that PDF content back to the client. The client then saves that PDF content to a local PDF file.
