putting images on the Web that can be panned and zoomed

[John Fitzgibbon]

Hi Bob,

Thanks for your reply. I have put the sample online at
http://places.galwaylibrary.ie/sample.pdf.

The file is about 2.3Mb in size. It is from page 3 on that the file is typical of what we are trying to do. Each page will ultimately be a separate file.

Regards
John

Vertical lines which are on the microfilm become more of a problem when enlarging the image. Also, because of the document's dimensions, much of the document disappears off screen when zooming in, and a large scrollbar appears at the bottom of the screen.
