Every Tuesday they release a copy of the 25ish page newspaper to the printers, and the print copy is distributed to approximately 2000 subscribers. They also want a web "mirror" if you will, so that a reader will still be able to see all of the articles, with ideally identical layout to the hard copy. As I understand they design process, the indivudal reporters write out their articles and submit them to the editor. When the editor has had their go, it goes to the layout person who puts it, with accompanying images, into an InDesign layout, with a printed paper in mind. The last week that they did this, they simply took that InDesign layout and exported each page as a PDF. Each page still ended up as 7 MB, and was far larger than a 1024 x 768 document could ever be. The scrolling was obnoxious.
