>The concurrent issue concers us because we are going to deploy the printing mechanism to a few applications on the same server. We are afraid that some users are going to step on each other's foot. Does the PostScript printer process files sequentially?

No, it can overlap. But, since you MUST make sure Distiller is run
only once, you might as well use the same mechanism to lock out
printing. A mutex, for instance.

It is certainly supported, and it's the recommended way for users to
make PDFs. But automating it, which seems to be the real question
here, is not supported.
