I put together a similar system which is why I'm offering this advice...

They system I put together for a district shows mortgages, maps, etc in an
iframe on the right, with thumbnails on the left for each page. When they
click on a thumbnail it changes the view in the iframe to that particular
page. They also have the option to rotate the image (in case it was
scanned in 90 or 180 degrees off).

There is a checkbox next to each thumbnail they can select to print. So
they select all or pages 1 and 3 and click Print. Does it print? Nope.
It opens the PDF with the pages they selected (the default way the PC is
set up) and they can print from there from the browser or PDF viewer.

Don't try to print the PDF from the iFrame. That's my advice. :) Allow
them to open the PDF in Adobe reader or whatver is set up as the default
PDF viewer on the system.

Are all of the sheets the same size, or some standard series of sizes?
Usually I believe they are A, B, C, & D? Each size being double the
previous size, or some similar arrangement?

Just for the fun of it I used Net Objects Fusion to make a web page with
a .pdf file I had lying around here. Hopefully this is where you are
trying to get to.

Net Objects Fusion is an HTML tool that, in my opinion, solves a lot of
problems. To do this web page it installed a plugin to display the .pdf
file. NOF is not free, but the last I knew it was under a $100.
There are other solutions, but this is the solution I have at hand.

They have thousands of maps that each pertain to a specific section and
lot. So when I said they were static I meant that they do not change, but
there are many different ones.

I found some code that uses a style sheet to make the iframe display At
100% height.

Ill be able to try it tomorrow.

I'm not sure how I could print the report as HTML. I would have to
convert the maps to HTML on the fly I guess. I looked at some samples to
do that and it looked a little involved.
