I need to point out that this is completely contrary to the stated purposes of PDF. A PDF document is supposed to be the same everywhere. It is not supposed to depend on the viewing device. That's exactly what the "P" is for. What happens when your phone users try to route their document to a printer? Are they going to get 10 words per page? I can't help but think that you should be using HTML for this, not PDF. -- Tim Roberts, [email protected] Providenza & Boekelheide, Inc.
