Hi friends, I want to write a small program that searches in document files for a specific phrase or sentences. ( like 'Find files' in windows explorer). However I am unable to search in PDF files? How to achieve that ?
MY aim is to distribute documents in a CD along with a standalone program that displays a screen to type a keyword or sentence to search.
