Additional information.... <br>
<br>
I talked to the user and got some history... <br>
<br>
The user scanned in legal documents. Saved the images as pages in a PDF. <br>
That is why I can't search on keywords for most of the files. A few files <br>
were typed up and then exported as PDF. most are images of the pages. That <br>
means that OCR has to be part of the solution. <br>
<br>
I discovered that Adobe Acobat Reader has a setting to search all PDFs in a <br>
directory for keywords. The problem is that these files don't contain text. <br>
They contain images of text. Adobe can't search images and find keywords. <br>
