Comment #2 on issue 1252 by [email protected]: Add the full-text
content of uploaded PDFs to the search index
http://code.google.com/p/qubit-toolkit/issues/detail?id=1252
I know several OJS-based journals successfully used pdftotext for
indexing their PDF-based articles. It basically extracts text from the
PDF and makes it available to whatever backend you have; ie. it can be
used to locate a specific PDF, but it doesn't do in-document highlighting
or anything like that.

Looks like it uses a "pdfinfo" application that I've never heard of,
but looks pretty straight-forward. I wonder if we could do something
simpler (i.e. just indexing the contents) using ghostscript?

we'll need some type of support for this in the 1.x branch. Ideally we
can make this work with ZSL or if not, some other PHP component that
can plugin relatively painlessly with the existing Qubit architecture
and minimum system requirements.
The ugliest hack discussed thus far is to use a full-text search box
via Google site search.
