[Zope] index of pdf docs / doc mgmt

[sean.upton@uniontrib.com]

That won't work; ZpdfDocument is for _creating_ PDFs... Use "Document
Library" instead.  It uses the pdf2text program on a unix box (installed
with Xpdf package) to index full-text of the PDF contents.  We use it to
index vendor documentation and Visio diagrams output in PDF format; I'm sure
this would work for you, one way or another.

If nothing else, you could use the PDF file extraction code within
DocumentLibrary in your own solution...
