texte = Hello,I am trying to work on a catalog of documents type site. the majority of documents are pdf files.The site will allow people to upload their documents and enter some basic information for sorting purposes. I need a way to index the content of the pdf files and put into a WebCatalog database so I can do free text searches as well.Does anyone know of any way to get the text portion of a pdf file into a WebCatalog database short of copy and paste (which is not an option for this project).The end site will be on Solaris (if we can get WebCatalog to stay running for more than a few minutes). I will be doing most of the development on Macintosh (and yes, I am watching case of the filenames ). Of course if any part of the process to get the data from the pdf file requires being done on Solaris only all of the development will move to that platform.Thank you.-- Dale Therio +49 69 263 19977 office Dresdner Kleinwort Benson Research +49 69 263 11379 fax Jürgen-Ponto-Platz 1 +49 170 934 3610 mobile 60301 Frankfurt, Germany------------------------------------------------------------- This message is sent to you because you are subscribed to the mailing list .
