Hi all,

we are trying to change various instrument softwares to print to a pdf file instead of a printer.

Whilst this seems feasible it does bring us to the problem of being able to search for a sample ID within a pdf file.

Is anyone aware of whether this is possible with Windows Explorer or some similar tool. We would be looking at searching within 30,000 pdfs per year.

thanks
Greg
