Hi,

Just getting started in my project. What's the best way to feed in documents (from a file server) into an HTML page?
The goal is to feed these documents in and have them represented as links that the user can click on and be redirected to Adobe to open the doc.

I'm just looking for a general answer, like, "You'll have to incorporate ASP/Java." I think I will have to use Java. I'm just not sure to what extent.

Any help is greatly appreciated. Then begins the long climb.....

Thanks,

Tif is not a file format that is acceptable for the web. You have to convert it any of common image formats:
gif, jpg or png.
 
What application can I use to do the convert (ASP? Java?)

Thanks.

Hi starway,

I may not be making myself clear. I just need general advice on how you would do the following project:

1. A web user requests a URL page that has a "View Document" link. When the link is clicked, there is a list of image system documents (links) returned to the screen.
2. The user clicks one of the links and the document (image) loads into Acrobat Reader as a PDF.

What types of technologies are best to implement this project? Java? ASP? I just need general advice at this point.

Thanks in advance,
