Make sure your PDFs are linearized and find (or write) a byte-streaming
servlet. At that point you can start streaming the PDF from any page (how you
start it is up to you -- Page Number URLs or Thumbnails/Storyboard, etc.).
The Acrobat browser plug-in will display the page as soon as it's downloaded
and stream the remaining pages in the background to the client. Very cool. I
don't remember if it only streams the pages as requested (to save bandwidth), I
think it sends the page requested and the rest of the file in the background
automatically. Someone else might know.
I wrote such an animal, but it was specific to the application.

Subject: [iText-questions] Opening a specific page of PDF
Hi was wondering if it is possible to open specific page(s) of a PDF document.
For Downloading purposes for example. i.e only opening the required pages of
a 30+ page document to save download time.
Thanks and Regards
Ross Aird
