Default Japanese Shoji Paper - PVC laminated?

Based on Robotoy's mention, I approached a client about using this, in
lieu of opaque glass, on two desk doors:

She "LOVED it!" picked out the "Shoji Warlon Sheet#5-Extra Strength" on
the above page, and I just ordered it this morning.

Never used the stuff before ... anyone with some experience have an idea
of how best to both cut, and mount, this material in place of glass in a
door?

My first thought is a carbide blade on the table saw?

(Rob, it's your damned fault!)



Clueless, BUT it is rice paper reinforced with a silky fiber and rolled
up so I suspect it is not very stiff. I would guess a pair of scissors
may do the trick.
