Nice thing, but I would like to see some kind of resizer since I can't find it in this one.

But nice to see such a handy little tool!

Its awesome to see your idea in action only a few days after the discussion on thursday.

On a side note though, it would be better if you used random pdf document names, since I was able to just change the number at the end of the file name to fetch other pdf documents. Not something most people would be comfortable about, I guess.
