You're welcome to pursue it, but I dont see the point. How is viewing a collection of page images superior to viewing the original PDF in the first place? Most ebook readers have pdf viewers, turn off the pdf reflow in those viewers and the pdf will then be viewd just like an image page, but with searchable text.
