I appreciate those insights. To help clarify, what I am actually attempting to do is to have a LaTeX server action run which generates its PDF for download. At the same time, it produces a log output of what worked or did not, as is typical for LaTeX, and I want to feed that back to the client along with the file. So the PDF file would be created at the same time the log data is created, and I'm not sure how I would get them both from separate requests.

Blessings,
