I saw PDFWorks and I understand how it works. The problem is that
they want to COMBINE it with a search of data from their database.
I was wondering if anyone knew whether the adobe index file is something
"readable" from perhaps a VB program so that a program could (1) first
search the Adobe index for a list of filenames that satisfy the search
parameter that would come from an RBase form, (2) maybe create a
text file of the filenames that could be dumped into a temp table,
(3) and since the filenames are meaningful to me I could combine those
filenames with a search of fields from my database tables.
I'm thinking a VB program would be required here, but I need someone
(Mike B -- you out there?) that could do this. If someone thinks they can,
then I'd like an estimate of time and cost to present to my client.

Karen,
R:PDFWorks is the program that allows the search of available
PDF documents. It includes R:PDFSearch and R:PDFMerge, which
are Plugins, not executables. Unfortunately for your customer,
these can only be used in version 7.x and higher.
They can use R:PDFWorks if they do not mind using a separate
program to search, edit the properties, and display their PDF
documents. However, it will not search within your database.
