[Web4lib] Best way to search a pdf

[A. Bullen]

In my other role as executive editor of the American Morris Newsletter 
(http://www.americanmorrisnews.org/), I have begun the long and painful 
process of digitizing and placing on the web all of the back (paper) 
issues of the newsletter 
(http://www.americanmorrisnews.org/pastissues.html). I PDF these, run 
paper capture against the resulting file,  FTP them to the server, and 
run SWISH-E against them. It works wonderfully-- see 
http://www.americanmorrisnews.org/searchtools/search.cgi, run a search 
for Marlboro.
