Stan, We create 30 or more "e-books" from printed books source files (FrameMaker) a month and we strip out the running heads and delete the page numbers from the ToC, among many other things, including deleting blank pages. Creating links from the ToC to the chapters and also creating bookmarks within the chapters makes the pdf well suited for web viewing. It's also best if you break up the book into separate chapter files so the individual pdf file size is smaller. This helps the files load quicker into Reader. As long as you have all the files in one folder on your ftp site all the links and bookmarks will work fine. If your text is reflowing from Word to PDF and you want the book to appear exactly the same as the printed version without dividing the chapters, I would suggest having it typeset using a professional typesetting program such as FrameMaker/In Design or Quark and then pdf'd with Acrobat 6 using the web distiller setting. <plug>Of course, for a nominal fee I just happen to provide such a service.</plug> James Miller CRC Press, LLC Electronic Products Division 2000 NW Corporate Blvd. Boca Raton, Florida 33431 (800)272-7737 Ext. 2231 -----Original Message----- From: Stanley Long [mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED] Sent: Thursday, February 26, 2004 6:25 PM To: [EMAIL PROTECTED] Subject: [PDF-Basics] re material appearing in different page Hello: I just subscribed and have a question of my own which I have been unable to solve. I have authored a book which has been published in regular book form and I want to offer it also as an ebook. Unfortunately, every time I convert it to PDF, the results are somewhat mixed. as an example, the pages are numbered, with the table of contents show each chapter at a certain page, when it is in PDF many of the pages are changed as to location of content and appear on different pages. obviously, if a table of contents shows the chapters on page -- then it should also appear the same when converted or re opened in pdf. Can you tell me if I have to acquire different software? I am presently using Word 98, acrobat 5 and reader. thank you.
