Hi, I'm in a real bind. We have a 144 page magazine that our GM wants me to place on our website. I suggested a PDF, but many of our viewers don't have high speed access. A 144 page PDF with web settings would still take a while to load.

They would rather I do this with jpegs....is there some simple way to accomplish this? I'm pulling my hair out here. Also, a hosted solution is not an option. Is there some software that could do it?

Please help......

Sure you can scan them in one at a time.

Byte for byte I think you will find that a med resolution pdf is a smaller file size than a jpg.

You don't need to make this a 144 page pdf. Unless it is something that one would browse, you could make 144 pdf pages or other natural break point for article pages. A TOC would deliver the client to the smaller pdf.

Agreed, you can set it up in Acrobat so that you have a TOC that links to smaller PDF files for each section/chapter. That way people only load what they want to read.

Paul, I'm going to agree as well. A single PDF or many PDF pages will probably be the easiest way to go. Personally I'd go with a single PDF since as a user I think that would be what I would prefer even without a high speed connection. I could just right click and save the PDF and read it offline.

Thanks for the input!
