These newsletters are retained in PDF format.
I am wondering if anyone has any suggestions on how one might be able
to develop an Index for all this material, preferably something that
would be accessible online.
This functionality is also built in to a lot of servers.
I got to thinking about this more over the past couple of days and
remembered another thing about my previous explorations into PDF
indexing. One of the workarounds I tried was converting the PDFs to
text and indexing the text. The thing that tripped me up on that was
things like space padding and other visual text treatments that were
placed in the PDF to make it look good, either by the DTP software or
by the PDF process itself, but which disrupted the natural flow of
text when it was converted back. I am curious about whether this also
poses a problem for the various PDF indexing methods that have been
mentioned in this thread.
