In addition to the postings suggesting Acrobat for this purpose,
I would like to point out another interesting feature of 
new web servers: 
While you can serve PDF from any WWW-Server, some of the single files are
too big to handle. Newer Web Servers (for example WebSite) come with support
for "byte range" serving - that means, they can serve just a specific part
of a file.

This solution seems to fit perfectly for inhouse publishing - once
all the workstations have their pdf/amber - reader set up, you can
easily publish anything without having to play around with html.

This is theory for me - I am still waiting for Acrobat to be delivered
to my office ... but has anyone here ever used this feature sucessfully?
