Hi,
I am looking at a way to convert PDF documents to a page-flip style of display. I've spent a bunch of time looking at this.
I am leaning towards writing a Drupal module with #1 (open source), but wondering if there were any other mummerings in the community about page flip ? Any advice or pointers that might help me focus on what has been done and what needs to be done.
Once the patch to imageapi_imagemagick module at http://drupal.org/node/269329 is reviewed and committed, the work done on incorporating imagecache into D7 means that D7 will have the ability to convert the first page of a PDF document to an image format. Perhaps it would be possible to modify imageapi_imagemagick to produce multiple pages - but I don't know how that would link up with the new image system in core. David.
