In addition to my above post, I have since discovered that the pdf method described above also works with the reports.
I have used it successfully with the complete report and it went to pdf using nova 100% correctly including all 10 images !
The generated pdfs are searcheable, but not editable. You can add a sticky note if viewing in adode reader which helps.
Here is a pdf of the complete report containing just one record to keep it small. Looks great on the phone.

I tested the output complete report to pdf using 42 records, most records had just 1 image each and it went across ok. Using this method you can transfer to pdf more than one record at a time, as in my test above was 42 records at once, how many depends on the resources of your PC.
Hopefully this is at least a partial solution for those who wish to view the DB on their android or apple device.
