The viewer only uses "document", never "database".

That help text and the end-of-document alert for the find function
are the only places where "document" is used when it should have
been "page" or "record". Easy to fix, though.

Well, I still think "document" is a good term.

IMO, "page" could be used for both of these cases. Whether a page
refers to the *visible* page or to the *whole* page is usually not
a problem in practice.

There are many different kinds of documents and we use "Plucker
Documents". I can't see anything wrong with that term, but feel
free to convince me that I'm wrong ;-)
