Greetings, an Adobe tech suggested I post my question to this group. 

I am the publisher of a monthly journal for parent educators. We have
recently added an online version of our journal, where the various
sections of the journal are each on a separate web page, but the
articles themselves listed on the web pages are in PDF format. Each web
page has 10-20 links to PDF articles on it, so we can't just add key
word tags to the web page. It needs to find specific PDF files. 

We would like our users to be able to do a "key word search" of the
entire web folder of PDFs (on multiple web pages, but with more than one
PDF on a web page), via the key words (and also by author name) to each
PDF, (we would add the key words and, author name: File/Document
Properties). Thus, after a search, a typical search results report comes
up with links back to the PDFs that have those key words (or author
name).

The HTML resource people I have talked to so far say they don't know if
the document property info in a PDF is in a readable format for a
web-based search or how to create such a search, but no one has said
they know for sure you CAN'T do this. 

Has anyone done this? Is there script etc. already created that will do
this type of search?

Thank you for your help.
Joan Comeau
