Hi everyone,
I was wondering if anyone could recommend a module that would allow me to create an organized archive a few hundred PDFs? We are running on 6. The archive needs to be searchable and anonymous users need to be able to access/browse easily. Something that could upload in batches.
Also, it would be great to be able to hyperlink specific document locations from the archive for in text citations.
Any thoughts?
Or maybe... is there something that interfaces with the main files folder that would let me provide an IMCE style file browser for anonymous users, one that could be linked in the secondary links?
Thanks in advance,
Jessica

http://drupal.org/project/search_files might be useful
I'd like do it as a node type with filefield so additional information can be stored.
apachesolr will return search
apachesolr will return search results for the contents of PDFs under certain conditions.

2 options
1. We have built a site (http://library.ole.org) that does much of this:
The most difficult feature is linking to a place within a file. Both Scribd and Bookreader can search within files. Bookreader can link right to a page with the search term highlighted, i.e. http://www.archive.org/stream/abroadcranethoma00craniala#page/54/mode/2u... I don't think scribd can do this.
2. As for a IMCE type solution:

Do you have the features for this?
Looks very interesting what you have done...
Would you have the features (drupal/features) for this? I would be interested in trying it out and see how it works.
Thanks man!
