Okay, I've looked everywhere and the answer seems to come up no every time. But I thought I'd pose the question myself, so I can get a direct no from one of you out there. :)
I have a library of many pdfs that I want to search across. While I *could* put them on a shared drive so our company can open a file with an embedded index and search across the whole library, I'd really *rather* do this on our intranet.
Why? Well, all the core documents already live on the intranet and it seems moving to a shared drive is a step backwards.
I know that Reader in a browser can't search that embedded index. Is there *any* sort of workaround for that? My constraints:
IT has never and doesn't seem to have a plan to install a search function on our intranet any time soon. Yeah, I know. But that's a closed door to me.
Is my *only* option to back everything on our intranet back out to shared drives? 'Cause they're not (and senior management isn't) gonna like that answer.
Thanks
