How to make a PDF workbook structure with index?
Hi everybody, is anyone experienced in archiving PDF? I need archiving lots of different PDFs in different sizes and formats into workbooks or folders with index files. How could I possibly look into each PDF, getting the title info and generate an index? How do I do clickable references to each content PDF? How could I practically bind PDF together (ZIP, tar, ...)? Is there some sort of workbook-like file-format? I had problems with re-arranging oddly generated PDFs via pdftex so I want avoiding re-arrangement. Thanks much for any hint. Thomas Schrader

Hi Thomas, maybe a search for "PDF" at http://www.softpedia.com can solve some of your problems (use the SOFTPEDIA SEARCH ENGINE at the bottom of the page). It results for example in: http://www.softpedia.com/get/Programming/File-Editors/PDF-Explorer.shtml -------- PDF Explorer description PDF Explorer is a PDF file management software and image extraction tool. It allows you to easily gather and add all your pdf files to a database file, that displays an overview of Filename, Title, Subject and Author. You can then search through all the files, view them, batch rename them and more. PDF Explorer can also scan within ZIP files and more. -------- Happy exploring, Peter

you can use tex to combine files, (\insertpages etc ) if indexing/searching may eb rough, you can search pdftotext converted files instead pdfinfo gives you the info fields you need a bit of scripting to get things nicely done Hans ----------------------------------------------------------------- Hans Hagen | PRAGMA ADE Ridderstraat 27 | 8061 GH Hasselt | The Netherlands tel: 038 477 53 69 | fax: 038 477 53 74 | www.pragma-ade.com | www.pragma-pod.nl -----------------------------------------------------------------
