Index attached PDFs and make them searchable

[0ptima]

As per the title, extract the contents of PDFs (and other file formats) to make them searchable.

Here is a use case for such a feature.

Plenty of uses for this, also word docs. One of my forums is a street residents association and committee. meeting minutes are archived as PDF or docx, but to currently make stuff searchable we also have to paste the contents into the post (which is a pain re: formatting of course)

I do fear though that this is outside the scope of the serach engine?

There is a plugin for Elasticsearch that could be used.
