SearchPDF for Web servers enables users to search across PDF documents from the Internet, or the corporate intranet. Organizations which have created full text indexes with Adobe's Acrobat (R) Catalog can now serve those indexes on a web server -- any web browser supporting Adobe's Acrobat (R) Reader 3.0 enables users to search for and view PDF documents with search term highlights.
Up to now, PDF documents were typically accessed within the desktop environment of Adobe Acrobat. SearchPDF for Web Servers allows access to PDF documents from web browsers.

In addition, SearchPDF for Web Servers utilizes the External Markup Language (XML)standard which enables users to view search term highlights in PDF documents from a web browser. XML extends existing markup languages (i.e. HTML, SGML) to enable term highighting and eventually annotation hyperlinks across the network.

SearchPDF for Web Servers and Adobe Acrobat 3.0 support the Netscape plug-in architecture and the XML standard, enabling search term highlighting and page-at-a-time viewing of PDF documents from a web browser.
