Extracting data from pdf's with PHP and placing it onto a html page

Recommended Posts

I have 500 pdf and MS Word files which I've been asked to list on a new website. It's a very low profile website so they're not too bothered how its coded.  I'm thinking of going with a static site with the PDF's in folders (as opposed to a Mysql databse). However, I'm wondering if there's a script which will automatically/dynamically display the PDF filename and the first paragraph of each file on a php/html page? Would this be possible if I placed the pdf/word files in MySQL?

 

Or is the only solution to manually enter the first paragraph of each file directly onto a static html ?

 

Thanks
