Launching a Server Side Process

I am unsure of how to launch a server-side executable that is usually
run in a  command prompt.  The purpose of the executable when run is to
fetch a web page and convert it to PDF.  Once the process has
completed, we want to return the PDF Document to the user's browser.


The process being launched is called HTMLDoc.exe and more can be found
here:

You can't call server side processes directly, but you can execute them via
remoting or a web service call (which resides on the server).
