How to search text in pdf file?

Hi all
I have to store the cover of a newspaper that include images and text and then should be able to search keywords in the cover.
I've read about to store in pdf format and use intermedia text.
I am just wondering the way to store and to do the search .
Thanks all

Hi,
You need store the PDF document in a BLOB column and create a CTXSYS index type.
e.g.: (.doc files)
CREATE INDEX I_DOC ON DOC_TABLE (DOC_COLUMN) INDEXTYPE IS CTXSYS.CONTEXT PARAMETERS ('SYNC (ON COMMIT)');Then you can test typing this SQL below:
select score(1) from DOC_TABLE where contains(DOC_COLUMN, 'My text', 1) > 0;In my case, i use this index for purpose to search on Word Documents (.doc)
Maybe this link help you to create an index type using FILTERS, in order to search on PDF files:

How to control text for PDF Files in the BI7.0 Broadcaster

Hi ,
I am running a web template in the BI7.0 Broadcaster. The output prints in the PDF format. In the precalculation tab I have set up 4 variables(VAR1,VAR2 .. etc) . The main folder where these PDF files get stored I can control the text but dont know how to change the PDF file names which fall into this folder. All the PDF files have the technical name and number(like XXX_00000,XXX_00001 etc.) How can I control the text for these files.
Thanks,
Kal

HI Kal,
it is not possible to get any influence on the filenames. If you use Filternavigation the filename is generated to be unique.

How to search in several pdf files at once

how is it possible to make one pdf file starting from 20 pdf's in order to search for an item in one operation.
I do not need to change the contenance (pro edition off adobat?)

Adobe Reader has the ability to search multiple pdf's. Just open it, select Search from the Edit menu and select All PDF Documents in from the Where would you like to search? option group.
You could also set up a search folder in Finder. Add a search category of "Kind" is "PDF." Limit the scope to whatever folder holds them all.

Editing text from pdf file

how to edit text from pdf file?

Adobe Reader does not allow editing the text of a PDF document. You will need to get Acrobat on your Windows or Mac to do that.

How can I prevent a PDF file from being copied, printed or downloaded? Students should only be able to view the text and and not distribute it in any way.

How can I prevent a PDF file from being copied, printed or downloaded? Students should only be able to view the text and and not distribute it in any way.

You can prevent it from being printed by applying a security policy to it
in Acrobat. The rest can't be prevented, unless you spend a LOT of money
on DRM protection.

How to write a unicode text in pdf file

Dear Friends,
I am a beginner in acrobat pdf plug-in development. I was trying to write a unicode text (Tamil text) into pdf file.
Using same api I am able to write english text in time-roman, areal etc fonts. But I am not able to write tamil texts.
The code is as below:
        memset(&pdeFontAttrs, 0, sizeof(pdeFontAttrs));
        pdeFontAttrs.name = ASAtomFromString("Latha");
        pdeFontAttrs.type = ASAtomFromString("TrueType");
        pdeFont    = PDEFontCreateFromSysFont(                                        \
                        PDFindSysFont(&pdeFontAttrs, sizeof(pdeFontAttrs), 0),    \
                        kPDEFontCreateEmbedded);
        pdeText = PDETextCreate();
        PDETextAdd(pdeText, kPDETextRun, 0, (ASUInt8 *)buffer, _tcslen(buffer),
                                pdeFont, &gState, sizeof(gState), NULL, 0, &textMatrix, NULL);
        PDEContentAddElem(pdeContent, kPDEAfterLast, (PDEElement)pdeText);
        PDPageSetPDEContent(pdPage, gExtensionID);
        PDPageReleasePDEContent (pdPage, gExtensionID);
KIndly assume that PDEGraphicsState and PDETextMatrix are set properly set, I am not pasting entire code to avoid complexity.
Thank you,
Safiq

How do I open a PDF file with Adobe Reader if it is in iBooks

I have a number of PDF files in my iBooks library. I just downloaded Adobe Reader for the iPad. I can't see how I can open those PDF files. The only thing I seem to be able to do with them is to open them from iBooks directly. Doing that does not provide me with the features that Adobe Reader would provide (such as searching for particular text, etc.).

Use iTunes to save the PDF FROM iBooks, and to add them to Adobe Reader.
Connect your iPad to your computer. Bring up iTunes on your computer.
To save a PDF FROM iBooks, click on "Books" in the Library section on the left. Select the PDF you want to save and right-click and choose Show in Finder (Show in Explorer in Windows). Go up one level in your computer hierarchy and you'll see all the "Books" (PDFs and eBooks) in iBooks. You can leave them here if you want to view the PDFs in iBooks in the future, or drag them to the Desktop.
To move the PDF TO Adobe Reader:
Return to iTunes. Click on the iPad on the left in Devices. Click on the Apps tab. Scroll down the the File Sharing section as shown below. Click on Adobe Reader. Click the Add button and select the PDFs you identified in the previous step. They'll be added to Adobe Reader

How do I combine already pdf files in pack?

How do I combine 2 pdf files in adobe pack?

So, if you have a PDF pack account, make sure to log in.
Online, you would go to https://cloud.acrobat.com/combinepdf, by clicking on the "Combine Files" tab.
Next, click the large blue button that says, "Select Files to Combine."
Wait for the shadow-box window to appear, and select the PDF files you want to combine, either by selecting them in your computer's filesystem, from the pop-up window, or by dragging the files into the shadow-box.
Alternatively, you may switch to Acrobat.com files, and upload any files that you have stored there.
Click on the blue button stating continue.
Enter a name in the box with light gray text stating "Enter combined PDF file name"
When done, press combine.
You should see a light grey status box in the top right stating the status of the combining, and when finished, you will see the file appear in the section toward the bottom half of your browser stating "Combined Files" - it should be the document to the furthest left-side. (If your lucky, it is already there.)
Hopefully, this will help you!
-Alex

Why can't I "Save as Text" a pdf file received as an email attachment?

I can "Save as text" a pdf file which I have created in my own computer (that is, it goes into MS notebook that I then can Copy and Save as an MS Word file) but not when I receive a pdf as an email attachment. (The file is saved, but it is empty.) Why would I want to convert my own pdf back to text? Well, in case I no longer have the original Word document I suppose, but the thing is "Save as text" works with my pdf, but not with those I recieve from others. How come? Thanks!

Is this a scanned PDF? If so, it must first be OCR'd.
