I have never seen this type of coding

[cvasquez]

I would like to know how this website generated this type of coding structure. Here is the link:

http://www.waldbaums.com/waldspecials.asp.

If it asks you to enter a zipcode, enter anything or 11040.
( notice how the link turns to an IP address, try deleting everything and just leaving the IP address. U figure getting a website of some sort right? WRONG)

Now to you and I, this would look like a regular PDF file which was created by Distiller...but look very closely at the source code. There is something there that meets the eye. Try to dig inside this baby and look at the very top left description of this page (or title of the html page)

They are using some sort of viewer.pl scripting language. Is there some similar program outhere to create this?
I would like to create this for myself. To be updated every week anywhere from 10 to 20 images every week.

Please help.

The Perl script is just displaying the circular PDFs. Someone scans in the circular and saves it to PDF, then uploads it to the site, where this script displays it in the web page.

I don't think that they are just using perl to display a PDF. You can display any PDF in plain HTML. There is something there that meets the eye.

Once again, I insist into looking at the source code.
The original file is in QuarkXpress digitized information.
Then it gets converted using PERL

I think it's just the zipcode part and the page navigation that perl handles. The PDFs are hard-coded.

I don't think the question has been resolved.

This is the link to the actual PDF:

http://207.241.193.63//slinky/waldbaums-circular-011703-wa01.pdf

If you click on the link above you will actually get ADOBE Acrobat Reader prompt.

Now click on this link:

http://www.waldbaums.com/waldspecials.asp

and enter any zip like 11040, if prompted. Now where is that Adobe Acrobat Reader? (If this is what you claim it is, PDF). I am not trying to get you confuse. The first link above was found under the SOURCE code of the second link.

Thanks for your help.
