search through pdfs on website
Jim Raff Member Since: 19 Feb 2003 Posts: 3	Posted 27 Aug 2009 13:29:21 I have no problem coding an on-line search form in either asp or php - but only if the raw data to be searched sits in a MySQL database. The problem is I do not know how to search WITHIN a pdf file that is held as a pdf on the website in a folder called "mypdfs". I do not want to create a separate text file for each pdf and hold that in the database. Ideally I also want to avoid having to create an index file for the pdf folder using a dedicated search engine because the content of the pdff folder will be changed every day. Any ideas? Could be a great CS4 extension! I have no problem coding an on-line search form in either asp or php - but only if the raw data to be searched sits in a MySQL database.
