Hi Alessandro,
my favorite tool for indexing PDFs - and that I use even for PDFs that
only contain photos of whiteboards, and that are totally unOCRizable -
is the module of eev that is explained in this tutorial,
http://angg.twu.net/eev-intros/find-pdf-like-intro.html
and in the video whose index is here:
http://angg.twu.net/.emacs.videos.html#eev2020
Look for the lines in the index that look like these ones,
(find-eev2020video "4:52" "`find-pdf-page' calls an external program")
(find-eev2020video "5:26" "`find-pdf-text' converts the PDF to text and")
(find-eev2020video "10:45" "`code-pdf-page' creates a short
hyperlink function for a PDF")
(find-eev2020video "11:38" "let's try...")
(find-eev2020video "11:55" "`find-fongspivatext'")
(find-eev2020video "12:25" "This block is a kind of an index for that book")
(find-eev2020video "12:54" "This block is a kind of an index for that video")
and click on the links with the timemarks...
If that looks like something that you would like to try then send me
an e-mail and let's see if we can arrange to chat by IRC or by some
other means!
Cheers,
Eduardo Ochs
