My program might not be a good idea for very large PDFs, since my Macintosh
application would convert them to JPGs or bitmaps that might be larger than
the original file. I was thinking more of small files (transit schedules,
reference sheets, brochures, anything that is a dozen or so pages at most.)
The Newton Programming Reference and Guide would definitely NOT be
candidates for this program. The Interconnect Port Reference would be a good
candidate.
Would this still be a useful app?
