Any solution for full text searching across pdf files.
I want to execute a saas idea that will agreggate a bunch of pdf files and allow their content to be searchable.
I know there is solutions like elastic search, search.io, solr etc. But these solutions basically indexes json and xml formats.
Any idea on how to solve this problem would be awesome.
Maybe extract text (store it) and use it for searching. Faster and less complicated.
You can use the app 'PDF Content Search' available in the Apple macOS App Store for that.
As Kabooki7 said. Also, if you need OCR, you can check out Tesseract a library by google that can turn images into text. It has relatively good performance and is easy to use (especially through Python).
