Hello again,
A little while back I have asked if there was a way to search PDF files (the text in the PDF files) via MediaWiki. I have gotten some tentative advice in response.
However, before I start trying to implement that advice let me ask you all one more question: does anybody actually have a MediaWiki site that can search the text inside PDF files?
Thanks.
Boris.

Please excuse me if the question is really dumb... but I am a newbie
here,
so I should be forgiven for that:) The question is this: can PDF files uploaded to a Mediawiki-powered site be made searchable, and if so,
how does
one go about that?
