I've not followed the previous discussion, but wouldn't a server-side hook
which would regenerate the pdf in case of a commit be a better option ?

- lighter on the webserver, which would serve only static content, and
eliminate any potential DOS
- lighter on the svn server, which would not get uneeded connections from
the webserver
