Paul, If you are doing client side PDF generation, you need to use Flex
as rendering engine to measure layout - hence preview - either hidden or
visible is the must - no server involved.
We are doing it for our report writer - works kind of slow - 2 pages per
second, but theoretically can be pushed to about 5-7 pages/sec for datagrid
layouts with no variable row height
