Apologiees if this has been discussed before. (There are plenty post about PDF creation, but couldn't find any on PDF search.)
I need to implement a html/db/pdf site search. Has anyone came up with a PDF (static file) indexer & search for CI (or even just PHP)? Don't want to reinvent the wheel, of course.
Thanks in advance

I'm not sure if such a thing does exist. Most PDFs I download are made by the server on-the-fly. If not, they are most likely referenced by filename, not indexed as such.

Sorry if I wasn't clear. I have to search arbitrary PDF files located in a folder (e.g. manuals, brochures), not on-the-fly generated stuff. So if a visitor searches for a particular term, results would be coming from static html pages, content stored in DB and from these documents as well.
Like Google Custom Search Engine - but GCSE cannot search DB, obvoiusly.

I'm sure such a thing exists, but I can't comment on whether or not it exists for CI.
