Hi All.
This is a quick question.
A client of ours wants a solution that when a PDF document is uploaded that
we use PHP to scan the documents contents and save it in a DB.
I know you can do this with normal text documents using the file commands
and functions.
Is it possible with PDF documents?
My feeling is NO, but perhaps someone will prove me wrong.
Thanks in advance.

One thing you'll have to watch is that if the PDF was created by a
scanner, then the "text" on the PDF is actually just an image and cannot
be read without OCR. I got stumped on that one for a while when I was
doing something similar :)
