iPhone ebook app

Question

Hi people, i was wondering if you know any tutorial or if you have any experience in doing an ebook reader.

Is it posible to read a pdf file and extract its pages for using them, or if i have to directly convert the pages to png and use them.

Also if it is posible to use the pdf data, can i somehow access the text within? Like for example for doing a word search?

Thanks!

Have a look at QuartzDemo

QuartzDemo is an iPhone OS application that demonstrates many of the Quartz2D APIs made available by the CoreGraphics framework. Quartz2D forms the foundation of all drawing on iPhone OS and provides facilities for drawing lines, polygons, curves, images, gradients, PDF and many other graphical facilities.
