Thread:Extension talk:Lucene-search/Searching pdf files

Hello,

I was wondering if it is possible to set up Lucene to index pdf files and make them searchable.

I have many pdf files in my wiki and would like them to be searchable. Is it possible to search for/find text within a pdf and then have a link to the pdf come up in the search results?

Thanks in advance for any help. I am not a programmer and would greatly appreciate any help or pointers for whether it's possible or how to set up such a search.
