Just a thought,
I like this idea and could help with development.
in the interim the iPaper module does a fairly slick job with flash
and hosted documents at scribd.com

Thanks David - that is good to consider for future... that would be
very cool if it could make the multiple pages, because really the
flip technology seems easier after that - I would like to find
something using jquery rather than flash, but that's just a personal
goal to 'not use flash' if I can...

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.
