Why not use php to upload the set of files?

bring up the pdf for when he wants to read about a meeting.  And a second
script to accept user input (search words) and perform a query against the
textual data and present some kind of results - probably a listing
containing a reference to the meeting date and a tbd-length string showing
the matching result for each occurrence, ie, something like n chars in
front of and after the match so the user can see the context of the match.

the Word's "File,Save as", the resulting pdf is only 70kb.  Might need a
new macro!)
