Default .net webservice return pdf

Hi,

I 'm trying to build an app which communicates with a web service.
So far i have

* basic iphone app --hello world
* web service .net (version 1.1)

I want the web service to return a pdf file. I can send the pdf in bytes. Is this the best approach. I 'm concerned that with the increase in pdf size the performance will degrade. Any suggestions how to approach this problem.

thanks

PS: I 'm referencing the following links for webservices

I think it's just a matter of popping in the url of the pdf...
