Not a PHP question. but could someone point me in the direction of how to
download/display only a portion of a PDF, much like google books does? For
example, if you have a 200 page pdf, but the user wishes to see the portion
that is on page 150. rather than downloading the entire PDF, only
download/display page 150?
I would like to avoid having to split them into 200 individual PDF's
(whether manually or automatically).
Any suggestions?

You could use FPDF and FPDI to just load up the one page:
http://www.setasign.de/support/manuals/fpdi/
Just use importPage($thePageNumberYouWanted);
<code>
$pdf = new fpdi('P', 'pt', 'letter');
$pdf->setSourceFile(self::PATH);
$tpl = $pdf->ImportPage(1);
$pdf->AddPage();
$pdf->useTemplate($tpl, 0, 0);
$data = $pdf->buffer;
$pdf->closeParsers();
header("Content-type: application/pdf");
header("Content-disposition: inline; filename=FileName.pdf");
header("Content-length: " . strlen($data));
echo $data;
</code>
I just realized that the version of FPDI I've been using is a little
old. There's a new update out, so some of the above code might change a
little.
