I don't see why it shouldn't be more of a priority, both for readers to use them and for editors (not that there are so many editors :-) to keep them up-to-date when a page is changed. For slow systems it's more important. Of course I'm thinking about largish scanned documents here; if the document has enough structure, with the tree of links to every section, then I wouldn't miss the thumbnails as much. -- Leonard Rosenthol PDF Standards Architect Adobe Systems Incorporated
