Yes it can be done. Well I've done it from C#, I don't see why the same approach couldn't be used in VFP.
Basically you can use Windows built-in indexing service to do this. By default it only indexes .DOC, .TXT and some other types. But Adobe provide a free iFilter driver that adds the ability to index within PDF files. http://www.adobe.com/support/downloads/detail.jsp?ftpID=2611 So the basic approach is: Make sure the indexing service is running on your computer. Create a new catalog covering the folder with the PDF files in it. Either force the index to update manually or set auto inndexing options. You can then programmatically query the index as required. There may be other ways but this has worked for me. -- Alan Bourke [EMAIL PROTECTED] -- http://www.fastmail.fm - Choose from over 50 domains or use your own _______________________________________________ Post Messages to: [email protected] Subscription Maintenance: http://leafe.com/mailman/listinfo/profox OT-free version of this list: http://leafe.com/mailman/listinfo/profoxtech ** All postings, unless explicitly stated otherwise, are the opinions of the author, and do not constitute legal or medical advice.
