I agree that PDF Creator is terrible on the server. I tried it briefly and it was a headache. In addition to the points Lutz made doing any printing Server side restricts you to a single print job at a time. That can become a problem - you have to write your own print job que.

I second the statement below. We did some testing with PDF Creator in the Past and were not convinced.
