Are you asking if this is possible? Sure - you can use Extract to get the text, and what page # stuff is on, but we don't provide a search engine. You would need to do that yourself. The only concern is that we do cap out the max size you can run the Extract API with - 200 pages. You sound like you'll be inside the limit though.

Thanks Camden, i also like to know the pdf file name along with page #, because i am spending time opening each pdf file and manually searching the word.

 

As you suggested, you can give us your solution with Adobe, we can try and opt that.  For search engine, you can suggest a tool or a solution.

I've used Algolia (commercial, but with a good free tier) and Lunr (free and open source, but client based, so not good for large datasets unless you use serverless functions).
