In my company we have a lot of customer information saved in .pdf files which are stored on a QNAP NAS.
I want to be able to do a quick search for information inside the .pdf, like Contract Numbers or similar. What could I do to index this information/PDFs, or just to make the search quick?
Is there a way to index it in Windows? If not, what else can I do?

I'm not a Windows user, but wouldn't Windows search index PDFs already? – slhck – 2012-08-08T09:12:50.700
I don't think so! Just if they are on your local file system.. But that's the problem, since i didn't find out how to index files/folders in the network. – David – 2012-08-08T09:15:54.090
Ah, thought so — "Unfortunately, indexing of network drives is no longer an available feature in Windows 7."
