Thks! I did see that - I keep an eye on that thread for the same reason you mentioned -- I am also really hoping that it gets incorporated into PDFRead!!!! That would be really spectacular. I occasionally get in the mood to get down and dirty with that sort of thing, but more often I just settle for easy approaches to conversions (such as if it happened "automagically" as a PDFRead option). Would like to also be able to crop out things like headers/footers/pageNbrs that prevent the page from being expanded a bit on the screen, but that's not especially critical. It just means I need my glasses to see the small print.
