Bug Description

I would like to suggest/request a way to import PDF as text or to improve how the resulting images are displayed. I have found with some PDF articles that the resulting displayed image text is so small that it is unreadable because Lyricue displays the full image where as it really needs to be zoom-able to make it useful or if possible to import and retain it as readable text.

PDF import is currently for importing presentations that are in pdf format - not for importing songs or sections of text.
All lyricue does is call 'convert' (which is part of imagemagick) to convert each page to an image

I realised what it was doing, but I was pointing out that in some if not many situations that resulting image is next to useless. If the PDF had generous borders and didn't use a huge font (ie. most PDF's) then the displaying that image at 100% trough a projector will result in microscopic text.

Please note this wasn't a bug report but a feature request to consider alternatives or enhancements to the existing method.
