Building your own threading would be fine, you can use Ruby's Thread class, but it might have a lot of unintended consequences if you don't have a very strong background in multithreaded apps. The other option would be to have a observer that watches for changes and automatically builds pdfs for what it needs to. Could even run these observers in BackgrounDRb for extra points. :P If you haven’t already found the answer to this — which I doubt; you being an enterprising rails developer — have you considered running BackgrounDRb?
