Legal and translation problems set aside, then you still have the first obstacle: how to extract the text from the existing PDFs. I my book, I recommend PdfBox and maybe JPedal can help you get a long way to, but... due to the nature of PDF there are limitations: text in a PDF is 'drawn' on a page. The concept of paragraphs, chapters, sections, tables,... is lost. How are you going to solve that? br, Bruno ------------------------------------------------------------------------- This SF.net email is sponsored by: Microsoft Defy all challenges.
