Karen, John,
It sure would be nice if rpdfsearch could be run
from a command line (with the search parameters embedded).
Then we could launch it without having the user
enter search parameters twice.
I think that would take care of Karen's needs and I
can think of apps where I could use it too.

Subject: [RBASE-L] - Re: Adobe / Database
search possible?
John and
Bernie:
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.
