Hello Susan,

pdf is capable of rendering the pages which is not necessary in the order of 
the time written. Let's say you write 10 pages into the pdf file, you can tell 
afterwards that the logical order is

1 7 2 3 4 5 6 8 9 10

Now I'd like to haven an interface to that.

The application is (as I have written in the first post) writing a table of 
contents. When I am at the end of a document, I know all the entries for the 
table of contents including the page numbers they appear on. Now instead of 
writing this information on the harddrive and reading it back in the second 
run, I could create another page (toc) and insert this as the real table of 
contents.

In the example above I write the table on page 7 and tell the PDF that it 
should display page number 7 after the first one. Of course, the visible page 
numbers should be in order, but this is not what I am asking.

My documents are sometimes really big (20 minutes to 40 minutes) and this would 
speed up things dramatically.

Patrick
