About PDF indexing, I've used several including the one mentioned above. I think xpdf should do the trick for you. Careful you aren't getting pdf2text from google, you may get a much much bigger system for Japanese pdfs from someone else. There is a PDF resource page I forget where.

Some limitations I have seen in this and/or other converters is adobe level 2 fonts, japanese, and (lack of) images.

Also I haven't tried it but it seems Adobe now has something here that might be applicable.
