Hey guys,

I have recently downladed a whole load of pdf. documents which I need to analyse. They are a set of old news papers which have obviously been scanned in, and I need to search for specific information within them.

The only thing is, whenever I use the Adobe search tool, the search engine always comes up with "no matches found"! This includes searching for real basic things like the headline of the newspaper or even the title itself!

I really need to be able to search this documents as I have about 500 of them and going through them page by page would be like being at the dentist with no anathestic!!!

Any thoughts you guys have on this really would be greatly appreciated.

Cheers,
Happy New Year,

Simon
