Thank you for your useful program.

The app is intended for use w/ regular pdf files, since the one -and only- reason for programming it, was to be able to read some books in pdf format having letter/A4 page size, which are otherwise difficult to read on Iliad.
You may have noticed that only characters and bitmap images are subject to zooming but anything looking like vector graphics/ drawing disappear. The pdf can contain drawings as it has instructions for that; but I could not find an algorithm that would be lightweight enough to run on Iliad and perform at least some basic shape recognition to allow scaling. I actually tried, but gave up when I found a file containing some oblique lines that turned out the made several rotated "-" character.
Now, equations in pdf fall somewhere in between graphics and characters as they can contain both; the very peculiar elements placing would require powerful recognition algorithms before scaling, which -assuming they can be designed- would most likely run reasonably well on a PC-grade CPU but unlikely on the Iliad's.
