Search PDF from FileMaker
Hi all,
I don't think for a moment that this is possible but always worth asking
just in case.
A client wants to be able to add a PDF to a database (so a container file)
but then wants to be able to run a search from FileMaker which will search
the PDF's.
Is there a way to either...
a) Cause FileMaker to search the text within files within containers or
b) Cause FileMaker to strip the text out of the PDF, into a field in the
record, and search on this field?
As I said, I doubt it but someone may know of a clever way or a nice little
plug-in that helps with this
This will be run in a Windows environment so no AppleScript tricks possible
Many thanks
Ed
