Hi,

I am wanting to search for keyowrds in PDF's using an ASP search script.

I would like it a normal search, but i am not sure if it is possible to search a PDF document with ASP the way you can with a Database and ASP.

Basically i have around 15 PDF documents, all 12 pages long. I would like the user to go in and search for a word, with the ASP search hopefully returning a list of links to relevant PDF's.

I guess there could be some work around where by i could put a list of keywords in a DB, but ideally, i would like, if possible to search the PDF direct.

Anyone got any ideas on this?

I don't think this is possible.
