CF perform word search on PDF files?

Can CF MX (6.1 or 7) perform a word search of PDF documents?
What I would like to do, at the minimum, is have CF search
PDF files located in a directory for a specific word, and return a
list of files that have that word (or phrase) in them.
am I asking too much?
Thanks for any and all help.
Russ

Yes. Use the Verity search engine that comes with
ColdFusion.

Unable to perform content search in PDF files

Hi All,
I am able to search the file based on content in .doc and .txt however the search result has not included the .pdf files despite it includes the content I am searching for.
Do I need set any domain properties.
Thankx.
Krrish7.

Perform a FileManager.updateDocument and supply the id of the document to update along with a definition containing the new file name (Attributes.NAME).
For example ... to rename document.out to document.pdf
ManagersFactory session = ....
FileManager fileM = session.getFileManager();
Item doc = fileM.resolvePath("/path/to/document.out", null);
// rename to document.pdf
fileM.updateDocument(doc.getId(),
new NamedValue[]
ClientUtils.newNamedValue(Attributes.NAME, "document.pdf")
}, null);
Note also that you could add a new format from Enterprise Manager for ".out" files, if all ".out" files were of type pdf.
cheers
Matt.

How can I perform the conversion of pdf files in Cyrillic script to Word files in Cyrillic script. The pdf file is too small for me to read right now. Julyan Watts

How can I perform the conversion of .pdf files in Cyrillic script to Word files in Cyrillic script. The .pdf file is too small for me to read without a magnifying glass, and the document is more than one thousand pages.

This answer was not helpful. First of all, I could not find "tech specs"
anywhere on the Acrobat 11 homepage. And secondly I purchased this software
for the specific purpose of converting .pdf files to Word. It was only
after I had completed the purchase that I learnt that Acrobat does not
permit the conversion of .pdf files in Cyrillic to Word files in Cyrillic.
I feel that Acrobat should have provided this crucial information before I
allowed my credit card to be debited. That is why I am now asking for my
money back. But thanks for your attempt to solve my problem, even if it was
not successful.

No phrase or multi-term search feature? I am using iBooks 4.1 on an iPad Air I thought it would support complex key word searching (even Adobe reader supports phrase searches in PDF files) is it really just limited to one key word per search?

No phrase or multi-term search feature? I am using iBooks 4.1 on an iPad Air I thought an eBook reader would support complex key word searching (even Adobe reader supports phrase searches in PDF files) is iBooks really just limited to searching for one key word at a time? Am I missing something basic in the search interface?

Greetings NoNameGiven,
If I understand the problem correctly (I’m not sure I do) you would prefer ‘iii’ to be read as “eye eye eye” rather than “three”? The alt text property is the only way that I know of to make this happen. Hope this helps.

Problem searching some PDF files in Acrobat Reader – Non-ASCII characters

Acrobat Reader cannot search some .pdf files. I have put an example document up on Scribd here.
Any attempt to search for any word that can be clearly seen to be in the document fails with “No matches were found.”
This example document is NOT a scanned document – words and characters can be selected.
A hex display tool shows that the characters in a PDF document that can be successfully searched are in the ASCII/1252 range (A=0x41, etc).
Copying and pasting characters in the example document to a hex display tool shows that the characters in the document are not in the ASCII range.
For example the letters A to Z in the example document are in the range ‘A’ = 0xDF (decimal 223), ‘B’ = 0xDE (decimal 222), through to ‘Z’ = 0xC6 (decimal 198).
However, characters in these non-ASCII ranges are displayed perfectly by Acrobat Reader, as can be see if the example document is opened.
Therefore, as Acrobat Reader knows what these characters are, it doesn’t seem unreasonable to say that it should be able to search for and find them.
Tests were performed using Acrobat Reader X v10.1.4.
Can anyone say what this problem is?

Hi Pat, thanks for your reply.
Your reference to the title of that page being 'HARNESSES' indicates that, when you view that document in Adobe Reader, you are seeing 'HARNESSES', not
"ØßÎÒÛÍÍÛÍ". And that the remainder of the document is similarly being displayed in readable English language.
Yes as you say, you can search for 'ß' and get hits on 'A' (to use that as an example) in the example document.
But the need to form a word to be searched for into whatever code mapping this is using (for example having to enter "ØßÎÒÛÍÍ" for HARNESSES - I'm not even sure how that would be entered from a keyboard) doesn't seem to be very convenient.
Its clear the example document is using some code mapping other than ASCII / Windows-1252 (which has 'A' as 0x41). But it is also clear that Adobe Reader knows what that mapping is, and knows to use it, as its displaying (for example) 'A' for the code 0xDF.
So I guess the question is - why isn't Adobe Reader's knowledge of this mapping being extended to its search input?

Cant change words in my pdf file??

why cant I change words in my pdf file? it takes me to another page to convert files to word only and the wrong files I might add

As PDF is not a word processing file format applications that work PDF cannot perform word processing activity.
What can be done when using Acrobat XI is the touchup of characters and character strings.
However if the PDF content is the output image of scanner that content is an image / a picture of text.
To work images / pictures you'd use a photo editor (such as Photoshop Elements or such).
You fail to specify what application you are using (Acrobat XI or Adobe Reader XI).
If you have Acrobat you can perform OCR using Acrobat's ClearScan. The output of ClearScan OCR lends itself to doing "touchups".
If you have Acrobat you can export the OCR output to a Word file. Needed / desired cleanup can be done using Word.
If you have Adobe Reader you cannot modify PDF page content, create PDF or export PDF page content.
With this situation you'd want to be subscribed to one of Adobe's online subscription services.
There is ExportPDF and PDF Pack. With either you can go to the service's web site, sign in and then upload the PDF for processing.
If the PDF content needs OCR you'd direct the service to do that.
The output is a Word file. You'd for sure have to cleanup the Word file but that'd be standard word processing.
Be well...

How do i search a pdf file

how do i search a pdf file on acrobat.com?

Currently, you cannot search the PDF content when it is placed on Cloud.
You need to use the Adobe Reader to search the PDF.
The Reader can be integrated with Acrobat.com and then you can open your files in Reader application and with ctrl-F you can search any word.
You can do some more search with multiple files using Advanced Search.
In the Reader application, choose Edit > Advanced Search.
Link to install Reader:
Adobe - Adobe Reader download - All versions

Hey there
"pdf creator" for iPad works flawlessly for me working with pdf files
It takes care of all my needs
I'm not sure about sending via Wifi or Bluetooth but I send them via e- mail all the time
Possibly it could handle your needs as well
Just type it into the App Store search field and the first one that comes up is the one I use
Jump on over there and read up on it before buying and see if it will help you
Hope this helps

Adding definitions to Specific Words within a PDF file

I have a client who wants me to add definitions to Glossary words throughout a PDF file. They want it to look like a "roll over" or when you click on the glossary word a definition pops up. Is there a way to do this in Acrobat 9 or it can't be done?

You can achieve this with one of my custom-made tools:
http://try67.blogspot.com/2008/11/acrobat-highlight-all-instances-of.html
If you set the comment color to "Transparent", it will act just like a pop-up that shows when you hover with the mouse over the text.

How to count words in a PDF file?

Is there any way I can count words in a PDF file without resorting to Acrobat Reader (which apparently has that feature)?
That's a massive program, which I actually don't like.
I need to count words in the PDF file because I write my papers with LaTeX, and they're full of my extensive comments.
Do you know of any alternative?

that utility IIRC cannot be found on xpdf (the official Archlinux package) anymore and its part of poppler
edit: its pdftotext btw

Merging word document with pdf file how do you renumber pages?

After merging a word document with pdf file, how do you renumber pages? The pdf has more pages than the word document. I first converted the word document to a pdf, using Acrobat Standard 9.

Hi Petek ,
After you merge the files or combine files ,click on the Page Thumbnails panel on the left hand side.
In the Page Thumbnail panel ,right click and you will get a drop down list .Select the option "Number Pages".
You will see a dialog box with several options .You can renumber the pages from there as per your requirement.
