(vs. text, that is). I can't remember what the max. resoution
of a IIgs is, but I bet its a bit smaller than (8.5x11)x100.
I really hate scrolling a fractional viewport a document, but maybe
that's just me.

Watch out--some
pdf's are just 75-100dpi images of the page. This
seems to be especially common for old data sheets and the like
upgraded to the "new" system.
That's not a bad thing. Acrobat is a
handy way to store and view
a sequence of images. Image thumbnailers aren't bad, but aren't as
document-centric.
