If you’re more familiar with PHP you can do the same using the Solarium library instead of SolrJ for Java.
Once the PDFs are extracted and indexed, Drupal is an alternative to Wordpress as Frontend. Using the Serach API Solr module you can access and „present“ any existing Solr index without a single line of custom code.
