Here are some possibilities. Some have a "navigation area" allowing one
to select the page to view instead of "forward" and "next" buttons.
OpenOffice exports to html, but seems to ignore page breaks (at least on
my test). To be honest, there is no guarantee any of these will generate
pages that load faster than PDF:
Open Source http://linbox.com/en/converter
Has anyone run across a tool that will take a multipage document (Frame,
Word or better still, PDF) and convert it to HTML, automatically create
individual HTMLs file for each page in the doc and add next/back links to
each page automatically? I've got a customer asking about the
feasibility
of this because one of their overseas customers has really bad internet
connectivity and have problems downloading our usual document deliverable
format (PDF files averaging about 4Mb). Their idea is to put the doc
online
so that this throughput-challenged user wouldn't have to swallow it in
one
gulp. The tool can be commercial, shareware or open source, but since
this
is likely to be something that isn't used often, it shouldn't be
ridiculously expensive or convoluted in its use.
