Hello,
I have a large volume of text written in a text file and few PDF files. I need to search all these lines in the PDF files. Can this be done with a batch file or unix Script file?

So in essence, my inputs are (1) Text file with few lines (2) PDF files
My output should be a text file telling which line from the input text file is there in which PDF file.

Thanks in advance. I am using Acrobat version 8.0

regards,
Sabyasachi

Is there no in-built command line argument support from Acrobat/Reader?
