Hello,

I would restate this question to say, Is there any way to only serve up a
portion of a PDF file at a time to a remote client reader? If the user goes
to page 10 of a document, then serve that page for instance.

As defined PDF is a random access format and therefore the entire PDF file
needs to be present before viewing any of it. It would be nice to be able to
send just the portions of a document that the viewer is currently viewing.
Even down to the zoom level, low res images for a zoomed out view and higher
res images as the user tries to zoom in.

This would reduce network traffic and make it easier to view remote
documents - why should I have to download the entire manual if I just want
to review the table of contents?

        I would find out EXACTLY what they means, since again, that
doesn't make any sense in web terms...
