This is a bit like the prior question about , " how do I use a servlet to deal
with big pdf files." The first answer
might be, " why are you using PDF in this setting?" Rather than having a help
button provoke a search,
wouldn't you be better off doing the search previously or can help point to
arbitrary locations?
In the former case, html with fragments may work or just having separate pages,
in the latter case a DB
may be more appropriate although I guess you could ask about PDF indexing or
TOC capabilities.
Leonard, you care to explain how PDF is a good choice here? Thanks.
My interest of course is that I end up having to use some of these creations
that people design...
