    Query to Search PDF's?

    Hi. I was wondering if I can create some sort of search query in Access that will search a folder of PDF's for keyword?



    We have a folder with many PDF docs. The file name of each PDF may or may not match the content of what we are looking for. Renaming the files is not an option. We are trying to find a quick way to locate a PDF that has key words. Using MS folder searches takes too long.

    Is there any way to do this in Access?


    Thanks.
