I've got a client who is hosted on my CF 5 (soon to be CFMX once I can get CFMX to run stable in my testing environment) box on Linux. This client has a need to search through PDF's... well it has become very apparent that CF on Linux will not index PDF's... even though it will under Windows. With that said... I need a solution. One idea I had was to find a utility that would convert PDF's to text files and then search them, but point the search results back to the PDF itself. Has anybody had to design a workaround for this problem? Does anybody know of a good utility to help me with this task? Any help would be appreciated. -- Jillian ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~| Archives: http://www.houseoffusion.com/cf_lists/index.cfm?forumid=4 Subscription: http://www.houseoffusion.com/index.cfm?sidebar=lists&body=lists/cf_talk FAQ: http://www.thenetprofits.co.uk/coldfusion/faq This list and all House of Fusion resources hosted by CFHosting.com.
