[Framers] Searching multiple PDFs for blacklisted terms

[Harding, Dan]

Wouldn't Acrobat's built-in "full text index with catalog" function serve this purpose? You can compile a single searchable index of all PDFs in a folder (or group of folders). I've used it to create local search indexes on network shares.

Subject: [Framers] Searching multiple PDFs for blacklisted terms

If you work for a Global company, you may be aware of China's Patent & Advertising laws. There are certain terms that are blacklisted, and violations can result in fines and even sanctions against companies.

Is anyone aware of a tool that would allow you to search multiple PDFs and compare against a list of terms and flag instances?

We want to look at our published PDF files, hundreds of them, and some of which are quite old, and see if we can find anything that is a potential violation . Unfortunately, most of these files weren't created in XML/CMS, but in Frame, InDesign, and even other apps, so searching source files isn't the best option.
