1. Re: Does Reader make multiple hits to server per request?
Test Screen Name Oct 15, 2013 9:18 AM (in response to Angela French)PDF files are designed so that they can be streamed in pieces. Unlike a movie, say, where this just allows viewers to skip forward or back, PDF readers (including Adobe Reader) may set up multiple connections, for example to download text more quickly than images, and fonts after that. In this way it's not unlike the way that a web pages pieces will have multiple connections to obtain all the elements.

2. Re: Does Reader make multiple hits to server per request?
Angela French Oct 15, 2013 10:22 AM (in response to Test Screen Name)Is there any caching that goes on in Reader, such that if a visitor downloaded the document a second time that it may not require so many hits to the server?

Test Screen Name Oct 15, 2013 1:21 PM (in response to Angela French)So far as I know, Reader does not cache. There are many PDF readers, some may. Also, some reader-browser combinations may allow the browser to cache. It's a very varied landscape.
