Just in time for 2005 : a pretty good approx of what I had in mind
with
TheLibrary.
The major new feature is one-page view. That
is, if you click on a bookmark or search-page link you will get a page
(as in the screenshot below) consisting of three frames. The left-bottom
frame contains the pdf file of just the requested page, hence
your brwoser no longer has to download the full pdf-file to get at the
wanted page which speeds up the process. The downside is that you can no
longer scroll in neighbouring pages. To compensate for this there are
previous page and next page buttons in the top frame
as well as a link to the index and search page of the document.
An added bonus of this set-up is that the author of a document can
control what readers can do with these pdf-pages. For example, the pages
of
3 talks on noncommutative geometry@n
admit all features (such as content-copy, merging pages, printing etc.)
whence a determined reader can reconstruct the full pdf-document if
he/she so desires. On the other hand, the pages of
version 2 can only be printed at a low
resolution and those of
version 3 do not even permit this.
The bottom-right frame of the pages allow the reader
to read (and post) marginal notes wrt. the content of the document-text
(such as : extra references, errors, suggestions etc.). As always,
comments are great; obnoxious comments get deleted. Deal!
Once
again, if you like your courses and or books (on a subject from either
non-commutative geometry or non-commutative algebra) to be included in
TheLibrary email.
All scripts are adapted from the original
scripts from pdf
hacks.
