It's not necessary to convert all files to PDF, but whatever you end up doing, you'll need to have some sort of OCR capability in there - obviously this is beyond CF's native abilities. The most cost-effective solution would be to find a third-party product (like a COM object) that you can call from CF.

The customers will be uploading and indexing graphic files (invoices, shipping etc). Also a lookup function for people to look and or print documents stored in jpg, gif, pdf What software is out there that allows me to upload graphics, index the files and do searches. I would think the graphic files would have to be converted on the server to PDF, and indexed for searching? Is this what Adobe Capture does? Are there other products out there? Has anyone developed such a product? I know one exists already (http://www.speedscan.com/) but I want to develop one myself. Any tips would be greatly appreciated. --------------------------------------------------- Colonel Nathan R.
