I've run into the same issue myself - I have yet to implement any changes, but I was planning on building a process similar to this:
I'd like to know if anyone else has any other ideas. 1) The user requests the PDF. 2) The request spawns off a new process to generate the PDF and saves it to a temporary folder ( or saves it into a database ). Another option would be to have the current request save a database record to some sort of "pending" report table. Then, a separate back end process would poll the table for reports to generate and save them off to a temp directory or table. 2a) In the meantime, the request immediately forwards the user a page which presents a "loading" screen. Using javascript the loading page would query the server every 5-10 seconds to see if the PDF has been generated. 3) Once the loading page has determined that the PDF has been generated, it is sent to the user. This could be extended to allow the user to navigate away from the loading page. A separate page which presents a list of reports and their current status could be built.
