title: Performing Optical Character Recognition on PDF's from ColdFusion using a Java or .NET Library?
body: <p>I am looking to take a PDF and extract any text from it.  I then want to make it available using ColdFusion's available Verity search to search the contents.</p>
  
  <p>Are there any libraries out there that do this quite well already?  I am including Java or .NET (Java prefered) libraries in the scope since they can be called from CF.</p>
  
  <p>Any insights or experiences would be greatly appreciated... thanks!</p>
  
  <p>Edit: Indexing PDF files works when the text is embedded in the PDF as far as I know with CF.  The PDFs I'm having to deal with have the text scanned as an image.  </p>
