: This makes me think: Is there some "standard" way for a PDF to contain both versions?
Adobe introduced something called "portfolios" in PDF 1.7 or later, but I doubt that they work with non-Adobe viewers.
Yes, I know about this non-standard extension. In fact, I struggled recently with a PDF using portfolios that could not be read using Adobe reader 9. The provider of the pdf insisted, and continues to insist, that one needs Adobe "version 9 or greater" and suggests that I have a problem with my web browser (which has nothing to do with it), and of course that I need Adobe flash (which is true for the latest Adobe under Windows, but this too is irrelevant). Just speculating, could one distribute a PDF that would be like a book with many parts? I know that Hans is not a fan of part, but I wonder how this is handled? I doubt that any viewers handle prefixed page numbers properly. I just tried looking at a document were pagenumbers are reset way=bychapter and evince at least starts each chapter with a page number=1 in its navigation bar. How would readers (people) deal with a PDF structured as: Part I - print/A4 Part II - print/letter Part III - screen ? Alan
