Agree, I'm not concerned with load speed here. The author does like
to use hi-res graphics, but that's not of issue.

But I also place the source pdfs on the org's web site and keep
the older versions there for archival purposes. This works
well since the source is in color and there are frequently color
photos that we can't afford to distribute in paper form. But
it's nice to be able to index the archived newsletters for historical
reference (it's a museum), but pdf doesn't work well for indexing
text.

What do you mean exactly?

If you'd like to search te PDF (or a set of PDF's) for the occurence
of words (like Google does) Beagle might be able to help. I cannot do
more there than pointing.

Yes, like google does. I want the pdf's available so that search
engine spiders will index the text content.

If you mean the reader would be able to search within the file and
jump to the correct section with a usefull index, then that is already
available in PDF. For example, if you use the header types correctly
in Oo then the generated PDF has an index by default. It uses the
headers to determine what are chapters and paragraphs and inserts
those into the PDF.

That's useful to know, but it's not what I'm talking about. I also
don't have the source documents for these pdfs.

Lew
