I am a relatively
inexperienced PDF developer. We use jsp and asp for distribution of
extremely large reports. These reports can be thousands of pages in
length. I am looking for a means in which I can deliver a single page of
the pdf, then as a user pages through the file, return those pages "on
demand". The trick is, if a user attempts to print the report, I will need
to return the entire report.
Currently I store
and deliver individual pages of the pdf and control paging and printing from
outside the reader control. If a user selects to print the report I
assemble the pdf on the server and deliver it to the client as a spool
file. The problem with this is I must maintain controls outside the scope
of adobe reader and it is confusing and difficult for users.
If anyone knows of a
way within Acrobat/Distiller/Reader to control what gets returned to the client
when the user pages through/prints/emails the file I can really use some help
here.
Thanks in advance,
jeff
