Are these docs too large to incorporate into 1 PDF ?... if you do that, then there is that type of search capability ... just a thought

Tim: I'd still have 30-ish PDFs, which, when searched, would go to the top of each PDF. Looking for some way to point not only to a document that contains the search term, but to point to the spot within the document that contains the search term. There is actually a desktop version of this application, which is what the mgmt wants me to duplicate. On the desktop version (which seems to be a little VB app), you do your search, it shows the results in a window, and when you click the results, it takes you to the spot in the document where the search term is located. That's the mandate here. They want that...but on the Intranet :) charlie Tim Laureska writes: > How about a pdf? > > -----Original Message----- > From: charlie griefer [mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED] > Sent: Tuesday, April 01, 2003 2:52 PM > To: CF-Talk > Subject: Searching (Verity?) > > Hey All: > > I've been given about 30 HTML docs.
