I've thought about that strategy, but I'm wondering how hard search queries would be to write against that type of structure. Another thing I forgot to mention is that I have an XML file with all the keywords and the pdf file name in it. I'm wondering about keeping appending these individual XML files into a larger "document type" specific XML file.....
