I think uploading to the server, and storing names and summaries in the db is going to be your best solution in this case. Also you can then run verity indexes on the db contents and use cfsearch to on the index. We are using verity on a few DBs here and I love it.

OR you have them upload graphics and give summaries of what is on them and then look them up that way. Adobe can't convert graphics into text.

The customers will be uploading and indexing graphic files (invoices, shipping etc). Also a lookup function for people to look and or print documents stored in jpg, gif, pdf What software is out there that allows me to upload graphics, index the files and do searches. I would think the graphic files would have to be converted on the server to PDF, and indexed for searching? Is this what Adobe Capture does? Are there other products out there? Has anyone developed such a product? I know one exists already (http://www.speedscan.com/) but I want to develop one myself. Any tips would be greatly appreciated. --------------------------------------------------- Colonel Nathan R.
