Hi,

Many tools have the feature of
printing a particular page or
a continous range of selective
pages.

Similarly,
Is there a free tool/protocol that
will help in downloading a particular
page of the document rather than
the whole document(PDF or Word
document or Linux based document
files or PPT file or Excel file) ?

It would be even more helpful if
the tool has the feature of
downloading multiple selective
pages from the same document !

Similarly, is it possible to share
only selective pages between
two users rathre than sharing the
complete document ?

I think, sometimes if we might
require to see only few pages of the
particular document that is available
in internet. So,rather than
downloading the complete
document, it is better to have only
those few selective pages from that
document. I think there are many
advantages like quick dowload of
user's desired contents only and
saving of bandwidth.

Any such tool/protocl available
in either Linux or Windows
environment ? Any ideas ?

Thx in advans,
Karthik Balaguru

Hi Karthik Balaguru,

Your question is not related to server, networking and many other
newsgroups.

However, the short answer to your question is no.

Okay !

Since the file reader can read on
server side, it can transmit only the
selected pages to save the bandwidth
and enable quick downloading as we
might need not wait for the download
of the entire file.

Okay,
I thought that this query is related
to windows and linux environment
in turn is in close connection to
internet. Hence, i posted to those
groups. But, anyhow since it has
been conveyed that these are not
appropriate groups, i wonder what
kind of newsgroups can be used
for this query.

Should i need to post this to
more generic groups like application
development newsgroups related to
linux and windows ?

My guess is that comp.infosystems is a more relevant group for this, but I
haven't looked into that. (I have a similar query to yours on my todo list
though, but I have no requirement to stick with legacy document formats.
FWIW I am thinking of maybe converting abiword to an online document reader,
or maybe looking at some variation of gopher, or even a man pager derivative).

Mark.

I have checked the same in the below
link -
http://serverfault.com/questions/102608/tool-to-download-only-selective-pages-particular-page-from-a-document-closed

Maybe, i might even check with the
fileformat specific groups like
acrobat(pdf), windows(doc/ppt/xls).
openoffice.org and others.
