Dear Team,
We are using Lucene for indexing the PDF. We need to link generated lucene
index with Adobe reader.
Current Approach:
Placed both the generated lucene index and PDF in the folder. Open the PDF and
search for a word using Advance search in Adobe reader. Whole PDF is searched
without using lucene index. Close Adobe reader.
Open the PDF again in adobe reader and do Advance search. This time PDF is
searched using index.
Expected Approach:
Open the PDF and search for a word using Advance search in Adobe reader. Whole
PDF is searched using lucene index from first search.
Can this be achieved? How can we link the generated lucene index with Adobe
reader?
Hi Anuradha,
The only way to make this work would be to develop a plugin for Adobe
Reader that used a Lucene index of the content. I built such a plugin
many years ago using the Acrobat SDK, although this used its own
indexing format - it took quite a lot of development. (you can find some
information about it at
https://www.google.com/search?q=profileskim+acrobat - sadly ProfileSkim
is no longer available).
Bear in mind that generally when people talk about Lucene indexes of
PDFs, they refer to indexes of the text extracted from PDFs using Apache
Tike, PDFBox or another third party tool. This is *not* the same as
having direct access to the PDF content from within Acrobat and I thus
suspect you'd get slightly different behaviour.
