Simon:

I am also interested in John W's question about iFilter.

John W.:

To supply information about other topics that you might be interested in. 
There are many ways to create a PDF. Some ARE image data only. Some you 
can have a copy of the text that maps to the image data. You can even scan 
a document, have your PDF generator OCR it, and have that in a hidden 
layer with mappings to the region of the image that created each OCRed 
word. (I don't know if this is word level mapping or character level 
mapping.)

I have not worked with Adobe's API directly, because the document 
management product, that our product sat on top of, did all that for us. 
But I am aware that it is possible. I know through the Acrobat Reader GUI, 
you can search these text layers, but I have not done it via code.

> Hi All,

Does anyone know if it is possible to search the contents of a pdf
online?

Cheers,

Simon.

Subject: [pro_vb] Loading XML into VB


Hey,

I have an XML document on the internet (accesible via HTTP) and need a
brief example of how to pull XML documents into Visual Basic and process
their contents. I'm every close, but I appear to be missing a key step
or two.

Please, if you can, provide a brief example of creating the object,
loading the document, and accessing its children.

Thanks!

John
