PDF Preview in Browser

I am trying to figure out how I can obtain partial PDF content for browser display via JSP. The idea is that I have an existing directory of PDF files on my web server. My site displays pages via JSP scripting. I want to programatically obtain a portion of a file via a Java call of some sort so I can "preview" documents in a report listing. Can this be done via the SDK? If so, can someone please point me in the right direction documentation-wise?

Taking it a step further, my company would like to start producing PDF files in a structured format using bookmarks. I would then want to obtain (on the server side in JSP scripting) a portion of a document between 2 or more bookmarks for display.

Thanks in advance for any replies!

You want to look at server-side PDF manipulation tools - of which there exist a myriad...both from Adobe and from 3rd parties.

Thanks for your reply. Would I need a separate tool even if I wanted to perform some simple calls - such as programatically retrieve the first 50 words of a PDF for display in a JSP page? Also, what are the server-side tools that Adobe offers?

Yes, you would need a separate tool.

For Adobe's tools, check out the LiveCycle sections of our web site.
