Is it possible to add a feature able to download a pdf of each hymn that I can then print? Rather than copying a book of low quality

Aaron is correct. Due to the numerous copyrighted songs in our hymn books, printing of hymns is intentionally disabled in the app. The publishers really do not like the idea of people being able to freely print copies of their works. While theoretically we could maybe modify the app to only allow printing of public domain songs, that is not something we currently plan to do.

I'm no spokesman for Onward media, but I believe there's a distinction between getting Rights to print hymns in hymnals, getting Rights to provide viewing access to the hymns via an app, and getting Rights to provide PDF files that anyone can print, and those are listed in order of increasing difficulty.
