i hav a pdf file with 15 pages, is it possible 2 host it on web so that my friends n others can directly view it without haqvin 2 download it.

it it a good idea if i put it on googlepages (as its add free), but then i hav 2 convert all pages 2 images... a it will take loads of time 2 open de page.

also what sud be de resolution of de image i host on web... is 72 (default) good enough.

if a file is hosted on a particular site [not a free file hosting site] then d pdf file url wen clicked on will open in d browser window [if u got adobe reader installed]

like dis link

maybe u cud ask sum 1 who is mantaining website 2 host d flie 4 u

y don't u try sum free website hosting site like Lycos

or Yahoo! Geocities

cre8 a page wit link 2 d files [dunno if dey allow pdf, if not den rename d file to sumthin dey allow and den ask ur friends 2 associate d aprticular filetype wit adobe reader]

y dont dey want to d/l d pdf file and read it after dl/l-ing lot more simpler dat way
