Solution 1

Are you saying that you want to save into client's C:\ drive using a web service? If that is the case

NO YOU CAN NOT DO IT.

There is no mechanism that allows you to save using webservice. what you can do is call the webservice from the client and the webservice can return your the pdf file.

Even if you know the client's IP address you can not do it. unless you create your own client/server application.

The easy and simple solution, keep your web service, let the client make the request and save the file it self.
