Unless you do some very strange things 5 pages isn't going to load unacceptably slow in PDF.
Agree, I'm not concerned with load speed here. The author does like to use hi-res graphics, but that's not of issue.
But I also place the source pdfs on the org's web site and keep the older versions there for archival purposes. This works well since the source is in color and there are frequently color photos that we can't afford to distribute in paper form. But it's nice to be able to index the archived newsletters for historical reference (it's a museum), but pdf doesn't work well for indexing text.
What do you mean exactly?
If you'd like to search te PDF (or a set of PDF's) for the occurence of words (like Google does) Beagle might be able to help. I cannot do more there than pointing.
Yes, like google does. I want the pdf's available so that search engine spiders will index the text content.
If you mean the reader would be able to search within the file and jump to the correct section with a usefull index, then that is already available in PDF. For example, if you use the header types correctly in Oo then the generated PDF has an index by default. It uses the headers to determine what are chapters and paragraphs and inserts those into the PDF.
That's useful to know, but it's not what I'm talking about. I also don't have the source documents for these pdfs. Regards, Lew -- To unsubscribe, e-mail: opensuse+unsubscribe@opensuse.org For additional commands, e-mail: opensuse+help@opensuse.org
