I posted this question before, but no positive answers.
I need to build a database for government documents and some of them are required to convert into PDF files. I wonder how I can search the content of these PDF files.
As I know from the Adobe Acrabat website, one of the features of Acrobat 6.0 Pro is that it can "convert paper documents to compact, searchable digital files", and I got some information from other sources that said with Acrobat, the paper-based document can be scanned and converted to a tagged file which can be searched by screen readers, does that mean its content can be searched in the database? I just don't know how to do it.
Please give me some advices on how to start and how to proceed.

Thanks in advance
 
How will you be doing the search? Through the web?
How would you like Access to work in respects to this search?

There are other web development tools that would prove much more useful for these types of searches, and the one that comes to mind is in the macromedia sweet. All you have to do it give it a directory location and it even does key word searches.
