At least on the one-piece docs such as found on 36bit.org, the first page is
displayed using the PDFViewer plug-in as soon as it's in, while Netscape
continues to download the entire document in the background. But this isn't
truly "pulling pages on demand", as the document has to be browsed serially.
Thus Acrobat Reader's "Go To Page" command isn't provided in the
PDFViewer
plug-in.

The one
attractive thing we loose by creating 60meg PDF files is the
ability to browse pages without downloading the entire thing....
Or am I missing something in Acrobat that will pull pages on demand
from a table of contents?
If you "optimize" the PDF using Acrobat Exchange 3.0 or newer, and your
web server supports HTTP 1.1 byte-serving, and the user has the Acrobat
Reader plug-in for the browser, you do get page-at-a-time browsing.
