These days, we expect more and more of our web sites - we expect to go beyond the bounds of static HTML pages with new and richer forms of digital content and interactivity. Forms that make the web experience and web portals more useful and productive and ultimately more valuable for us.
We offer SearchPDF 2.0, PDFPublish 2.0, PDFMetamaker 2.0 and other products to enable true digital surrogates of documents (documents with all the original page formatting intact) to be presented and searched within websites.
SearchPDF 2.0 is a document search and retrieval application that extends and integrates itself into an HTML website or web portal. All original document forms, including scans from paper, are now available to find, query, display, navigate, copy, save, send and print.
PDF is a feature-rich format for digital documents and publications, and this format now has an important role to play in websites and interactive web portals.  PDF has the power to "stand-in" for a paper-based documents as faithful digital surrogates of the original, as much as photocopies aready do. It is just as adept at representing digital-source documents like spreadsheets and presentations, and documents that are Saved As PDF from authoring applications, or Distilled to PDF via PostScript using Acrobat Distiller. |

| 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 PageYou 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!

The terms you are looking for are highlighted in the PDF files. You can navigate directly between search hit pages.
