Until I can integrate the data into the home pc, work pc, and pocketpc natively, it will have to stay that way. I am hopeful though.

A PDF is really just a file full of Postscript at heart. That Postscript can contain ASCII text (or maybe Unicode, but you get the idea) and font descriptions, or it can contain a graphical description of each mark on the page. As an example of the two types of PDF: 1. I get Dr. Dobb's Journal as a PDF. It's got the text in it as text. 2. The copier at work can scan to a PDF and put the file on a network share. It's just putting in descriptions of every mark it saw on the page, including lint, toner marks from when it was printed, folds in the paper, etc. It really isn't a very clever trick to be able to search the former, but to do that latter, you have to render the letters then perform OCR, which is a much cooler thing.
