Take a look at CFCollection, CFIndex and CFSearch. You create a verity collection using CFCollection, Index it with CFIndex and then you can search against with CFSearch. You'll have to look at Verity collections to maximize pdf searching. Usually you'd set up a scheduled task to refresh the collection on a daily or semi daily basis. Hope that helps.

Hello All, I was wondering if it was possible, for ColdFusion to scan a subdirectory of PDF files, read in each file, and then perform a Full-Text search - bringing back a list of files containing the search criteria? I know ColdFusion has some type of built-in PDF capabilities, but I think that is to just create PDF files correct? I suppose, for anything more elaborate, a COM Object would have to be created within the ColdFusion process, launching an instance of the PDF Reader (assuming it's installed on the Web Server), and then have the Reader communicate back with the ColdFusion Server... Can anybody point me in the right direction, as how to accomplish something like this? Thanks in advance, for any advice you can throw my way.
