It's not so easy as you would like to.
CHM and PDF is already compiled files, thus u need to know their structure
to work with, that's a bit hacky way
CHM format is here

try to google to find a description of PDF format

I need to search programmatically if a certain string appears inside a PDF
or CHM file.
The search is done only once for each file so I don't think that a solution
to index the file using Index server is right here.
Anyone knows how to do it?
A simple code example will be appreciated.
