What I am trying to do is creat a web page and a part of this web page is going to be a database of editorials in pdf format that I would like to be searchable by keywords. this search would then return a list of the articles with minor descriptions of each abstract. Is this hard to do? I have thought of a way to do it but it seems really long and involved and thought there must be an easier way to get it done. are there any tutorials out there that teach you how. I have found utilities that index a web page to make searchable but not pdf files on the webpages. Any help greatly appreciatedSean

PDFs are basically super text file so if u do search in the directory where the PDFs are, the search still should come up - does for me anyway

it will search within the pdf files to see what they are about?or will it just look at the titles of the pdf files? I am planning on just having the files closed in a directory.
