Powerful Search Functions
SearchPDF takes you with precision and speed directly to the digital documents you are looking for. You go directly to the PDF page and the word(s) you are looking for. It is simple, powerful, intuitive, direct and fast.
You have the power of full-text searching, with the added efficiency of structured queries based on custom index field values stored in the PDF files themselves!
Go Beyond the Traditional Search Page
You can extend the search function beyond the traditional "search page" and genenerate search hyperlinks which perform "filter queries" on other web portal pages. For example, a hyperlink that says "Research Reports for April, 2002". The actual query performed in this example (under the hyperlink) is simply:
(ReportType contains Research) and (Date between 20020401 and 20020430)
Filter Queries can replace HTML list pages that are maintained or created manually. Your document list pages are automatically updated within 5 minutes of initial document posting!

PDF Unifies all Document Forms
Used as a core component of a web-based document management system, SearchPDF provides a unifying force to the wide variety of document types.
Paper documents can be scanned and "recognized" (turned into searchable text under the image of the page in PDF). Now it no matter what your source document type is - they are presented uniformly on the web, and with a consistent and simple interface.
The Uses of SearchPDF
SearchPDF can be used for:
 Web-based Document Management within a corporate Intranet
 Digital Publishing on the Web (selling PDF files)
 Web Hosting of Document Collections (for retrieval by members)
 Building Public Access Libraries on the Internet
Supporting Applications
Also presented and offered here are three additional applications from JRA Software to assist you in the creation and preparation of PDF files for delivery on the Web. These are:
PDFPublish (convert scans and Image-PDF to Searchable-PDF)
PDFMetamaker (add metadata to PDF on the web)
JRA FirstPage (prepare bitonal TIFF files for conversion to PDF)
PDFPublish
PDFPublish is a batch processing application. It takes raster image files (like TIFF and JPEG) as well as PDF files, and it converts them to Searchable-Image PDF files, complete with metadata and ready to be published on the web. The OCR engine used is the award-winning ABBYY FineReader Engine, and this gives you the highest level of search accuracy, in any combination of 176 languages!
Plus, with the leading-edge JBIG2 compression engine from CVision, you can reduce the size of PDF produced with searchable text and bitonal page images (TIFF files) by 2 or 3 times!
Plus, this application also offers dual output to searchable-image bitonal or photo DjVu files, (DjVuLibre license applied for) This alternate file format consistantly outperforms PDF on the web even with the latest PDF compression methods, and the format is perfect for use in the SearchPDF application.
You will love both the simplicity and the power of this application, compared with poorly-designed alternatives.
PDFMetamaker
PDFMetamaker is a web server application that is used to enter custom and standard metadata fields directly into PDF files. By moving metadata creation into the web browser, operators can enter metadata without the actual PDF files (they are on the server), without any special software and from any location that is connected to the web!
JRA FirstPage
JRA FirstPage is an image enhancement application for bitonal TIFF files. It features "virtual document separation" and "rapid manual cleanup". Enhanced TIFF image will provide superior OCR results when you make searchable-image PDF files in PDFPublish.
Compression Products
Compression Products from JRA enable you to bring the size of PDF files down to a level that is suitable for web delivery, while at the same time saving significant storage space on your server.
