As I understand Acrobat, with the present release the document has to be
opened as a whole. If this is correct you would need to divide your 500 page
manuals into small chunks.
However entrancing it is to wander unchecked through a garden of bright
images, are we not enticing your mind from another subject of almost equal
importance? -- Ernest Bramah Smith, _Kai Lung's Golden Hours. Story of Hien_
