OK.

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.

How would I be able to do a full search on the images uploaded to the server? I'm no 
expert on OCR programs but is there some sort of conversion utility that can do on-
the-fly via command prompt? I'm just trying to avoid having software installed (Adobe 
Capture) on clients PC's?
