Hi Aswin,
You can try pdfbox to convert the pdf documents to text and then use
Lucene to index the text. The code for turning a pdf to text is very
simple:
private static string parseUsingPDFBox(string filename)
{
// document reader
PDDocument doc = PDDocument.load(filename);
// create stripper (wish I had the power to do that -
wouldn't leave the house)
PDFTextStripper stripper = new PDFTextStripper();
// get text from doc using stripper
return stripper.getText(doc);
}
