Typical response for all of the emails I have seen from this chap - all
completely devoid of useful information. Why didn't you simply post a
link to one of the commercial products you sell?
In order to give Rakesh a head start why not suggest something useful -
like lucene? Rakesh - search for lucene, which should be able to do what
you want. If you want to look at pdfbox (also open source, though it
seems - not that i'm an expert - a little less advanced than itext) then
you can extract directly to a lucene document and have it indexed.
Cheers
