    Hi Peter.  How's things?  Hope all is well over yonder. Great to see you've got the forum up and running.

    Wondering if its possible in the future to support byte serving of PDF's? I believe this has something to do with how the headers are sent to the client..

    We have quite a number of larger size PDF's on our Intranet and the files currently need to be downloaded entirely before opening, which can be quite slow over a WAN and not what users are familiar with when opening the same files from a direct link.

    I've tested with a number of different versions on the reader plugin, ensured the PDF's have been created with the 'Optimise for fast web viewing' option, and I believe I have IIS setup correctly.

    I've tried to find a few articles on the net for reference which may provide some more info:
    ASP Scripts: http://www.experts-exchan...obat/Q_21363372.html
    PHP Scripts: http://www.coneural.org/f...s/04_byteserving.php
    Adobe Reference: http://studio.adobe.com/u...805&xml=acr6kboptpdf
    Adobe Reference: http://www.adobe.com/supp...techdocs/328355.html
    More script examples: http://www.experts-exchan.../ASP/Q_21368039.html

    PS - Is 03.01.50 the latest version?  I think I've seen mention of .51 around the forums..  If so, could you send out the source when you get a chance? (I didn't buy through Snow Covered..)

    Cheers,
    Andrew

    Hey Andrew,

    Funny you should mention this. A few weeks ago I implemented this technique and it appears to work. It is true I haven't released the 51 yet to you. I'm about to release again with a large amount of small bug fixes and enhancements. I wanted to wait until this one is ready ...

    Just FYI - I've done a very quick test of this in the 3.2.01 and it seems to work fine!! Great work!

    PS - Is this the latest version?

    This is the latest release, yes. 3.2.2 is being tested and worked on nearly every day ... hope to release it within a couple of weeks.
