    <h2>The Problem</h2> <p>I have a 35mb PDF file with 130 pages that I need to put online so that people can print off different sections from it each week.</p> <p>I host the PDF file on Amazon S3 now and have been told that the users don't like to have to wait on the whole file to download before they choose which pages they want to print.</p> <p>I assume I am going to have to get creative and output the whole magazine to JPGs and get a neat viewer or find another service like ISSUU that doesn't suck.</p> <h2>The Requirements and Situation</h2> <p>I am given 130 single page PDF Files each week (All together this makes up <strong>The Magazine</strong>).</p> <ul> <li>Users can browse the Magazine</li> <li>Users can print a few pages.</li> <li>Can Pay</li> <li>Automated Process</li> </ul> <h2>Things I've tried</h2> <ul> <li><strong>Google Docs Viewer</strong> - Get an Error, <code>Sorry, we are unable to retrieve the document for viewing or you don't have permission to view the document.</code></li> <li><strong>ISSUU.com</strong> - They make my users log in to print.

    1. COseparate the PDF into multiple smaller files is not a valid option ? Yes, you need to program the view mechanism, but overall you'll improve performance.

    2. COUsers don't want to download a 35mb document just to look at a single page? Hard to believe.

    3. COEach user owns 2-10 pages in the document. They usually want to print these when the new one comes out. I don't have a way of knowing which pages belong to whom without looking at it though. Also, I thought Adobe would load the first couple pages and let you view it while it loaded the rest. Did they change this or do I need to do something different?

A row detail

Detail views are divided into sections. All the information in the data section comes from columns in the selected row. The other sections display data from other, related rows.

Related data can be related in a to-one or a to-many fashion. Captions of data related in a to-many fashion link to a list view showing a filtered view of the table.

Try moving around until you find a non-empty to-many entry and click on the label to get to one. You can move back to the root by clicking on the database name in the header.
