Now, if I only had a text file with the book's titles and page numbers, I could automate the whole process.

Not something I need but, if I did, I think I'd experiment with scanning the index page/s and using OCR technology to convert the scan to a text file.

Well I tried several OCR scanners and none were able to scan the index pages accurately enough.

However I did discover that Berkeley has all the fake books online (http://library.berklee.edu/leadsheet/book), with an ordered list of songs with artist names for each book. Copy & paste that to a text file, and its much less editing to just add page numbers. The split PDF files are named booktitle-pageXXX.pdf. So I can write a shell script to match page numbers, rename the files w/ song titles, put them in folders by artist, all automatically.

Definitely enjoying the MS app btw. Used it for the 1st time on a gig tonight, which just ended an hour ago. The only downside is worrying about the bassist knocking my tablet off my music stand. Might need to invest in a clamp.
