The "linearized" form of PDF is designed to do just that: permit a PDF viewer to display the first page while still downloading the rest of the document. The "pdfopt" utility, which I believe installs with ghostscript, will do this from the command line. Alternatively you can save a PDF with "fast web view" enabled in Acrobat Professional. There are surely other ways to create a linearized PDF, but those are the methods I've used. -AB -- Head, Digital Research Library University Library System University of Pittsburgh 7500 Thomas Blvd., Room 306 Pittsburgh, PA 15260 Phone: 412.244.7526 Fax: 412.244.7537
