I am thinking that I would just need to locate the reader on the site and then script something to call the reader and open the file before it downloads. I don't know of a way with ftp. Adobe 4.0 supports a page at a time option that is sort of what you want. I've read about it but never added it to any of my PDF files. You have to use a web browser with the PDF reader added on. You don't have the long wait. You also can't jump forward. Kent > > The users viewing the files have the pdf reader on their local machine.
