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 !

The Search Content Service appears to just search within Appian Document Management; trying to think of possible options.
In our case we are most likely going to utilize SharePoint for document storage, as it is bundled very well with Project Server, in which are both utilized pretty heavy in some business areas. Utilization of sharepoint is also to assure centralization of ‘other’ content, with the defined ‘searchable’ content.
In reading some of the posts it appears there are a couple options; (wanted to confirm/verify)
1. We could build a smart service to interact directly with Apache POI library (per Sathya’s comments / similar to the docx example). This would enable us to search directly between Appian and Sharepoint repository.
2. We could utilize the content search capability, but it appears that the search only works with the Appian document repository. We would then possibly need this think of a way to sync content between the Appian & SharePoint repository for this searchable content. In utilizing Sync, this would enable content to be available in both locations, but double storage foot print
Please advise if I missed anything
Thank you all for your help and feedback on this one
