I think that's more of an Adobe question than PHP, really... I vaguely recall that you could make this happen (only?) if you were using not just a plain PDF, but a PDF with PDI (FDI???) where, essentially, your PDF file references *other* PDF files, and those get sucked down separately. Note that this is the big-time feature where you have to PAY MONEY for libPDF and similar products, as I recall. IE, without this feature, it was free/cheap, but if you wanted this, you'd pay (more). Since I never needed this feature, I only skimmed through it all, and could be completely wrong. Also note that, almost for sure, when you send out the "main" PDF, and then that PDF sucks down all the other PDFs, you are really chewing up a *LOT* of HTTP connections opening and closing. Seems kind of expensive to me for the sake of showing the user one page/part of a giant PDF in advance... At that point, it seems to me you'd better serve the end user by having separate PDF files, if at all possible, and let them download the parts they want, or just warn them it will be awhile to download... YMMV NAIAA IANAL It's REAL easy to bloat PDF files very fast, and having monster PDF files seems like a Bad Idea (tm) to me, in general. I'm sure there are specific cases where it's the Right Answer and your needs may well be one of them -- I just want to make sure you understand the ramifications before you go down the garden path. -- Like Music? http://l-i-e.com/artists.htm -- PHP General Mailing List (http://www.php.net/) To unsubscribe, visit: http://www.php.net/unsub.php
