I can understand that. :)

>From what I can tell the reason CF on Linux doesn't index PDFs is because
the filter was not purchased from verity... here is my question:

-       I can run ps2ascii on my Linux box to convert the PDFs to text... which CF
will be able to index.

Given this, could anybody give me any guidance/suggestions on how I might
create some sort of custom tag for CF to do this on the fly? Is that even
possible?

My only other alternative (that I can see) would be to create a shadow
directory and use ps2ascii and shadow ALL of the PDFs on this site (400 or
so)... let CF index that directory and then manipulate the search results to
point back to the original PDF.  I'd rather not have to do this.
