Creating MANY PDF's with ASP.Net

I am going to have many users running requests for an ASP.Net web service to create reports in PDF format.

I need to make sure that each user is getting a specifically named PDF file - to handle the obvious problems of concurrency...

I've played with settings in CutePDF, DocuCom(ScanSoft) and Adobe PDF drivers - none of them seem to have the type of low-level control I need. I've even fooled with mapped drives to different folders...

Basically when the web service request comes into ASP.Net I want to somehow assign a "name" or "folder" for the production of that PDF file. The PDF will be created by an old VB6 app running in a BAT file (started with PROCESS.START).

Process.Start DOES start a process that won't hang IIS - right???

I've asked a related question in the .Net forum - under this thread
