Adobe PDF Document Content Searching;
Does anyone have any experiencing searching content within a pdf document. There has been a recent request to provide such capability and I was looking to see if there was a smart service and/or if anyone else possibly used a different approach in searching content within a specific pdf document within Appian.
Thank you in advance for your help !

If your PDFs are searchable/indexable by Appian (
forum.appian.com/.../Search
,
forum.appian.com/.../Configuring_Search)
then you can use Content Search Services (Shared Components --> Smart Services) to search for a keyword and return results within a process. The discussion thread associated with that component has some more information about query possibilities.
I know that PDFs are theoretically indexable by Lucene but there have been issues in the past. If you follow search config instructions and can't search for text within your PDF (an unlocked PDF that is searchable by, say, google or windows) then post back.
