Volunteer needed to create screen saver for BSDCan

I need help.  I need someone to create a screen saver to run on my Mac.
This screen saver will be used during the opening session of BSDCan.

In short; I have about 20 emails I wish to have displayed.  I can  
give you
the emails or a PDF of each email, whichever you want.

I had tried using just the PDF and the "Pictures Folder" screen  
saver. This
was a good start.  But each PDF contains large amounts of whitespace.
Each email occupies very little of one PDF page.  Therefore, the  
screen save
often shows this whitespace and nothing else.

I'm not worried about how you achieve the result, but one suggestion  
I thought
of was : convert the PDF to an image file and crop off the whitespace.

Please contact me off-list and I will send you the PDFs/emails.   
Those with
suggestions as to how to do this work are free to suggest, but I do  
not want
to do the work as other parts of BSDCan are higher priority right  
now.  :)

Thanks.
