Echo the above sentiments, and would also mention the Open
Library/Internet Archive book reader[1]. We use it in Islandora[2] with
Djatoka.

I agree with Ed that going to PDF seems unfortunate.
Check out Jon Stroop's Loris [1] for a lightweight implementation of
tiling using IIIF [2,3] that the Open Seadragon zoom-pan viewer works
over. Cool demo at:

Cheers,

On the same note, I've had good experiences with using adore djatoka to
render jpeg2000 files. Maybe something better has since come along.
I'm out

It is sad to me that converting to PDF for viewing off the Web seems

the answer. Isn’t there a tiling viewer (like Leaflet) that could be
used
to render jpeg derivatives of the original tif files in Omeka?
For an example of using Leaflet (usually used for working with maps) in
this way checkout NYTimes Machine Beta:

We are in the process of migrating our digital collections from
CONTENTdm
to Omeka and are trying to figure out what to do about the compound
objects
-- the vast majority of which are digitized books.
The source files are actually hi res tiffs but since ginormous objects
broken into hundreds of pieces (each of which can be well over 100MB in
size) aren't exactly friendly to use, we'd like to stitch them into
individual pdf's that can be viewed more conveniently
My game plan is to simply have a script pull the files down as jpegs
which
can be fed to imagemagick which can theoretically do everything I need.
However, I've never actually done anything like this before, so I
wanted
to
see if there's a method that people have used for combining lots of
images
into pdfs that works particularly well. Thanks,
