As i described previously, if you or someone else will prepare the PDF (one file per hymn), i'll modify the little reader app to display it. It's all this app does right now--let the user input a hymn number, and open a corresponding PDF file. You might also find some recognizable hymns in this one. I didn't really have the patience to process this PDF and don't anticipate finding even more of it to chop up one i'll probably never use.

I tested searching using some different pdf utility libraries, but none of them could pick out the text to do a meaningful search. If i finish up the basic display functionality (full screen, portrait, etc.) i'll probably implement type-to-search using hymn names from a separate file.
