For a slightly longer answer as to /why/ the answer is no, you have to
look at the file formats. It is not necessarily impossible to view
early pages of a document before the end of the file is read in (acrobat
reader can do this with pdf files, for example), but later parts of the
files generally refer back to the earlier parts. This is immediately
obvious with any compressed file format (such as pdfs, or open document
files), and with any binary-format file where the file reader
application cannot interpret later parts without having first read
earlier parts.

You could always try asking the question in relevant newsgroups instead
of the random collection you've picked here, but you won't get any other
short answer, and I doubt if you'll get a long answer that helps you
much more.

mvh.,

David
