Online PDF Storage + OCR Search through API?

Hello,

 

I've been looking through the documentation for the PDF Tools API, and I haven't been able to figure out if my use case is feasible through the API. Here's what I'm trying to do:

 

1. Store PDFs in a central online place (like Dropbox). When a PDF is uploaded, I need it to be automatically scanned with OCR.

2. Search through uploaded PDFs via API. I need to programatically search for text contained in uploaded PDFs, and return the lines where the text is found in the PDF documents.

 

Is this possible? Thanks!
