Okay, Daniel, I have gone the long way around to answering your
question, but I wanted to show you those two free programs, first.
If you can turn your documents into text, then those two free programs
just might serve your needs. Otherwise, check into "Clipbooks" by Blue
Squirrel:
*Clipbooks* by Blue Squirrel Software is the most widely used product
of the type you seek:
http://www.bluesquirrel.com/
That site is hard to get into because apparently the bluesquirrel
server cannot handle much traffic, but be aware that "Clipbooks" is a
retail product and I do not believe it is available for download. At
least not from their site.
Beyond.com might be a good source to order this software:
