When user closes the "Create PDF Document" window in RM before document generation completes, immediately cancel the document generation operation on the server.

Users expect their own jobs to cancel out when they close out of the document generation window (e.g.: while it's waiting for report service availability for a long time).  If the window IS closed out, then there's no path back to the user's browser for the document generation to be delivered to the user.  

As it works today, the RM publishing engine will still process any / all document creation requests submitted to it.  There's no way for those jobs to be cancelled before they begin, (nor for the jobs to be killed once started.)

Aligning application behavior with user's expectations here - killing the job when users close the window - will reduce useless system processing and greatly reduce queue delays during busy document generation periods.  Furthermore, it will greatly reduce the need to pursue "workarounds" such as implementing process fixes or attempting to provide additional information about the print queue to the user base (who generally shouldn't need to know that detailed information, except when things are not working as they expect.)
