Hi folks,
I'm looking for content plugins for full-text-search in Acrobat PDF and Windword-DOC files. Is there any?
I know the possibility of plain-text search in DOC-files and full-text-search-ability of (PDF)filter full-text but this don't fit my needs in all circumstances.
TIA.

In principle, the ft_fulltext type could be used for searching in PDF files, but to my knowledge no one has written such a plugin yet. PDF files are very complex, 2 characters appearing after each other may be far way in the file...

I have since a long time switched to Foxit PDF Reader, instead of Adobe Reader, which is capable of Full Text search and copy&paste meanwhile, all hidden in an incredible 1MB package:

I doubt that any plugin developer will be able to compete its abilities honestly.
For DOC full search I am using Suchen & Ersetzen which is capable of doing regex as well.
