Thanks for your kind words people! U keep me motivated to continue working on this viewer...

A piece of advice: when the pdf has some background "image" one gets better results by copying the text into a text editor (keep same page size) and then export to pdf so the background is removed. There is still some work to create the new pdf but at least there is no need to "re-paginate".
Sorry I could not do better... :-(
(The trouble seems to come from the fact that the background is either an image or some image tiles; but pPdf tries to display (and scale) images oblivious to what they were used for...so it ends up to having a lot of images to display and place some text in between and this just doesn't work right.)

I have given some thought on the issue of remembering the page...it annoys me too. To be consistent with the way Iliad works, there should be an xml file next to the pdf containing the necessary details and I am not yet sure how this works... Any better (aka simpler) ideas?
