    You'll note that those two modules are linked from CPAN.org, the Comprehensive Perl Archive Network.

    Are you familiar with CPAN? Its search is very useful when searching for modules and documentation (another good source is Activestate).

    I haven't tried them yet but PDF and PDF::Parse APIs do not have the capability to search within a PDF file. The documentation shows that only the PDF doc properties can be retrived. I plan to try it out tonite anyways. Thanks for your help. -Sagar
