One of my web pages has a lot of my school yearbooks that I have scanned with each year listed as its own .pdf file. Is there some way to search all of these .pdf files on a web page at the same time when that web page is accessed?

Question

In other words, I scanned every page of each yearbook and made that .pdf searchable. I can go to my website and search each of those .pdf files for a student's name, but I have to search them individually. For example, if I have three yearbooks scanned into individual .pdf documents (let's call them 1970_yearbook.pdf, 1971_yearbook.pdf and 1972_yearbook.pdf). I have these 3 dosuments on my web page with a link to open and search them 1 at a time). Is there any way to search for a name in all 3 documents at the same time without having to search one, then another, and another, etc.? I created each document in Acrobat X Professional.

Thanks,

Ron Collins

Searching of web sites is done using a "search engine". There are two kinds

1. An engine installed on the site itself, usually with a search button on each page. This is the most flexible but most administration.

2. An outside site that indexes the site. For example Google. Did you try Google? For instance search for
1970 Smith site:www.mysite.com
with suitable date names and site name.
