I did it, and the conversion seems to be very well. Only few characters
are not well recognized. Even if I don't know BUrmese/myanmar. It was
easy to check I only look how the characters are. I did it for Mat when
trying to add the verses in the good place, looking were it is in the
pdf. Then I compare the pdf with my converted txt file.
