Scott Pakin submitted the
threadcol
package to CTAN.
Summary description: Organize document columns into PDF "article threads"
License type: lppl
Announcement text:
The threadcol package combines a document's columns into a PDF "article thread". PDF readers that support this mechanism (probably just Adobe Acrobat/Reader) can be instructed to scroll automatically from column to column, which facilitates on-screen reading of two-column documents. Even for single-column documents, threadcol supports the creation of multiple article threads, which help organize discontiguous but logically related regions of text into a form that the user can scroll through as if its contents were contiguous.
This package is located at http://mirror.ctan.org/macros/latex/contrib/threadcol/ . More information is at http://www.ctan.org/pkg/threadcol (if the package is new it may take a day for that information to appear). We are supported by the TeX Users Group http://www.tug.org . Please join a users group; see http://www.tug.org/usergroups.html .
Thanks for the upload. For the CTAN Team Rainer Schöpf

threadcol – Organize document columns into PDF “article thread”
The package combines a document’s columns into a PDF “article thread”. PDF readers that support this mechanism (probably Adobe Acrobat/Reader only) can be instructed to scroll automatically from column to column, which facilitates on-screen reading of two-column documents.
Even for single-column documents, threadcol supports the creation of multiple article threads, which help organize discontiguous but logically related regions of text into a form that the user can scroll through as if its contents were contiguous.
