How can I index PDF files that reside on a Unix server?

I was amazed the week last to discover that our Web site does not support PDF research opportunities. Apparently, we're going to get it soon. But when that day comes, I think we need to index our PDFs. I know I can do it for a Windows Server. But, how can I do to a Unix server?

Thank you

No, not at all. "Indexing" is a stange inconsistent term used for this connection. I guess you really want is a search engine that includes PDF as HTML content. The term 'indexing' might mean 'account with all the text in a file and the addition of words available for research.

Acrobat uses "Indexing" to mean precisely creating a set of files used by Acrobat itself to find several PDF files. But it is a thing of local file, not a web thing. In this way the indexing of PDF files must be used on the web is bad, but also not good.

There are two main approaches to web search engines.

1 premises. Software runs on the local computer and can read the files on the web site. In fact a kind of file, may be called an index. Local software on the web server uses this information to display that you lead.

2 remote connection. Google is a prime example of this. Visits of the websites ("spiders") to play the files, made his own 'index' and the research on the sites.

Google (and other search engines) are often seen only as a means of the world wide web to research. But they can be used to search for single servers in their list of everyone, as in https://www.google.co.uk/search?q=indexing+Pdfs+site%3Aadobe.com

An interesting variation of what was for sale a few years ago, is the "google appliance" for use on private networks (intranets). He was sitting on the local network and done things like google but only with the local network. Then, there was a 'local google' for all local machines.

One last thing: your customers are not likely to find satisfying if she must search for PDF files and the HTML format of research with a different engine.
