The PJ library from www.etymon.com provides a pretty complete and easy-to-use API for getting info from PDF docs. It wouldn't be too hard to write a PDF indexer for Lucene using this library. The main challenge would be guessing word boundaries in strings where spaces have been replaced with explicit shift values by the formatter. Cheers, Eliot -- W.
