Is the only way index pdfs is to convert it into a text and then only index
it ???

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);
}
