title: Printable Large PDF on the Web
body: <h2>The Problem</h2>
  
  <p>I have a 35mb PDF file with 130 pages that I need to put online so that people can print off different sections from it each week.</p>
  
  <p>I host the PDF file on Amazon S3 now and have been told that the users don't like to have to wait on the whole file to download before they choose which pages they want to print.</p>
  
  <p>I assume I am going to have to get creative and output the whole magazine to JPGs and get a neat viewer or find another service like ISSUU that doesn't suck.</p>
  
  <h2>The Requirements and Situation</h2>
  
  <p>I am given 130 single page PDF Files each week (All together this makes up <strong>The Magazine</strong>).</p>
  
  <ul>
  <li>Users can browse the Magazine</li>
  <li>Users can print a few pages.</li>
  <li>Can Pay</li>
  <li>Automated Process</li>
  </ul>
  
  <h2>Things I've tried</h2>
  
  <ul>
  <li><strong>Google Docs Viewer</strong> - Get an Error, <code>Sorry, we are unable to retrieve the document for viewing or you don't have permission to view the document.</code></li>
  <li><strong>ISSUU.com</strong> - They make my users log in to print.  No way to automate the upload/conversion.</li>
  <li><strong>FlexPaper</strong> - Uses SWFTools (see next)</li>
  <li><strong>SWFTools</strong> - <code>File is too complex</code> error.</li>
  <li><strong>Hosting PDF File with an Image Preview of Cover</strong> - Users say having to download the whole file before viewing it is too slow. (I can't get new users. =()</li>
  </ul>
  
  <p><strong>Anyone have a solution to this? Or a fix for something I have tried already?</strong></p>
