Thanks everyone for all the feedback provided so far, it's all very useful!

I'm an (amateur) Egyptologist - specifically in the area of the ancient Egyptian language - and have all the reference materials I use when translating Egyptian texts on my iPad. I'll generally have at least four documents open at once: the text I'm working on, a hieroglyphic dictionary, a hieroglyphic sign list (used to figure out where to find a word in the dictionary), and an Egyptian grammar book - and I need to constantly flip between them. I couldn't use any PDF reader which didn't offer a similar capability. Does your software offer this ability?

I've also answered, I notice, your question about what sort of PDFs I use it for . Page-scanned PDFs.

Thanks for the descriptive use case, I appreciate it! Hyphen's PDF support is still in the works, and a lot of things are slated for later release. Basic support is what's being focused on for now. More news to come.

Solid advice!
