I need to serve a large pdf document with 400 pages, the size of the document will be in 3 or 4 MB range
OK...
and I have a strict rule which says the max size of data that can be sent to the client at one packet should be 64 KB ...
The web doesn't work on packets - well, not at that level...
When an HTTP connection is made, there is a "pipe" opened between the server and the client and the data just flows as a stream. Any packetization happens WAY DOWN at the protocol (TCP) layer and are EXTREMELY SMALL ones.
I can not send the 3 or 4 MB document directly to the client at one shot ...
You can't NOT send them that way...
how can I accomplish page by page serving. I heard that if we serve page by page .. next page will be downloaded as the user moves to the next page in the client side
Depends. If you use "fast web view enabling" (aka Linearization), it means that Acrobat will load everything necessary for the first page of the document, then display that, and then fetch the rest in the background (assuming the users prefs haven't been changed).
HOWEVER, how much Acrobat requests to load the first page OR foir any subsequent page/set of pages, is undefined and up to Acrobat.
