So, here's the scenario: I built a relatively simple WPF app that's installed on my desktop. I'd like to change the design to a client/server model (on the same network). If the WPF will be on the client side then what exactly am I looking for on the server side in regards to Visual Studio project type? The server is a Windows Server 2012 R2 and again is on the same network as the WPF client. Do I use a WCF service? Or a console application and have it listening as a background task on the server?

• The goal of the application is to take the data the client provides in the WPF form, pass to the server, the server runs an .exe that basically fills out a template using the data provided from users input, and finally prints a PDF back to a folder on a shared drive the user has access to. Thanks in advance!
