Sorry I was a little wrong - the extracted pdf text is sent to the assp 
virus scanner - so a possible attac should be found

Questions on the OCR plugin:

1) Will this parse pdf's that are zipped by chance?
2) Is there any security concern with this?  There's been frequent updates
to PDF software (Adobe and others) due to 0-day vunerabilities caused by
cleverly crafted pdf's.  Any chance of a risk like that here?

Thanks
