Each web > page has 10-20 links to PDF articles on it, so we can't just add key > word tags to the web page. It needs to find specific PDF files. > > We would like our users to be able to do a "key word search" of the > entire web folder of PDFs (on multiple web pages, but with more than one > PDF on a web page), via the key words (and also by author name) to each > PDF, (we would add the key words and, author name: File/Document > Properties). Thus, after a search, a typical search results report comes > up with links back to the PDFs that have those key words (or author > name). > > The HTML resource people I have talked to so far say they don't know if > the document property info in a PDF is in a readable format for a > web-based search or how to create such a search, but no one has said > they know for sure you CAN'T do this. > > Has anyone done this?
