Subject:Indexing and searching a webpage of PDFs? From:Chris Morton <salt -dot- morton -at- gmail -dot- com> To:"techwr-l -at- lists -dot- techwr-l -dot- com" <techwr-l -at- lists -dot- techwr-l -dot- com> Date:Mon, 22 Jan 2018 14:40:24 -0500
I belong to an association that publishes a quarterly newsletter. Present
and past issues are available as PDFs on a certain members-only page.
There is no search function on that page, nor is an index provided.
1) Is it possible to add a search function that could comb through the
PDFs, as it they were regular HTML pages?
2) Or might there be a nifty tool that I could aim at that page and build
an index? Or maybe download the PDFs and index them locally using some
nifty tool?
Thanks
