Looking For PDF Search Program

[Martin Vorlaender]

I never said it couldn't.

But it does it the same way as ht://Dig does: by extracting the text portions inside the PDFs, and indexing those.

And as Robert indicated, that is not what he is looking for.

I'm afraid I'd have to agree with Martin on the one.

I've spent the morning reading the documentation on Swish, and although it can be largely automated, it does rely on first extracting the PDF to a text file (using PDFTOTEXT) and then running the index.

Hello Robert,

could you please give us some background why extracting the text and then searching that is not an acceptable solution and what exactly
you do expect this program to do?

Greetings, Martin
