I'm not sure how many PDF's we have. I know we have A LOT though. As they fill up like 10 20" binder looking things. My plan is to make a script that "indexes" the PDFs in a database and then run something like a cron job every night that will check to see if any new documents have been added, or updated from the previous day. If so re-index that file or add it to the index. I have already developed a pretty solid search engine geared at searching databases. (Easy script, but hey Im a perl noob :) ) So basically I think I might just look into putting them into text files and bringing them into the database. How I'm going to store like 10 page documents in a database, i dont know yet.
