So now the questions:
1. Can or should this service be converted to REST?
2. Can it be converted to REST as is, or should it be broken up into
smaller pieces (not sure the client would agree to that)?
3. Can REST handle the amount of data a GET request would necessarily
have to include?
Any ideas? Any tales of converting something like this and the ups and
downs you encountered?
Only thing I can add is my blog entry on using FOP with web services,
which might be of help for you in a non-REST situation:

Also, for the print generation logic, perhaps some of the source code
for Kohmori, the World's Least Used Report Generation System, *could*
provide a pointer or two:
