If you have total character control of the exe, you could create multiple playback files for each individual search needed. RRR

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.

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 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. http://www.rpdfworks.com/ John --- RBASE-L ================================================ TO POST A MESSAGE TO ALL MEMBERS: Send a plain text email to [email protected] (Don't use any of these words as your Subject: INTRO, SUBSCRIBE, UNSUBSCRIBE, SEARCH, REMOVE, SUSPEND, RESUME, DIGEST, RESEND, HELP) ================================================ TO SEE MESSAGE POSTING GUIDELINES: Send a plain text email to [email protected] In the message SUBJECT, put just one word: INTRO ================================================ TO UNSUBSCRIBE: Send a plain text email to [email protected] In the message SUBJECT, put just one word: UNSUBSCRIBE ================================================ TO SEARCH ARCHIVES: Send a plain text email to [email protected] In the message SUBJECT, put just one word: SEARCH-n (where n is the number of days).
