kmachstang Posted October 23, 2007 Share Posted October 23, 2007 Hi, I am a PHP Newbie and looking for a bit of guidance with PHP search functionality. I have an online library of PDF files. Each PDF is roughly 500 pages. We would like to be able to search for words within the text of the PDF files. The PDF files will be searched across author, publication year, etc. Does anyone have any good tips/examples of how I might attempt to accomplish this? I had thought about using pdftotext to convert each pdf to a text file and then using grep to pull the words, but I think there is probably a better way of doing it. Thanks, Kyle Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
