What's the easiest way for me to make a database of .pdf files, put it on my web server, and search for names or addresses within the .pdf's to find the specific .pdf via a search box on my site?

Please help!

Well, you'll need to input those names and addresses (and anything else you want to search by) into your database. And if I can assume you mean names (of people, places, things) that show up in the text in the PDF, rather than the filename, correct? That means you'll need a table for names, and another table for files, because they have a 1 to many relationship.
