For this project we are using CF 4.01 (client's server) and we are using
verity to index the database, with excellent results. Using verity to index
the PDF files is not an option in this case.
What we are looking for is either a CFX or a COM object that can be called
from CF to extract the raw unformatted ASCII text from the PDF files.
Anyone know of such an animal?

Subject: RE: Extracting Text from PDF Documents with CF
Verity requires a filter for the indexing of PDF
documents. This filter is provided with CF in most
cases.
The version of Verity that is included in ColdFusion
4.5.1 for Linux and HP-UX does not include a filter
for PDF files.
