Database of OCR-scanned articles

Asked by markrichardson84 in Computer Scanners by General, Miscellaneous Software, OCR / Scanner Software

I work for a research organisation which has an ever expanding library of photocopies of articles from newspapers, journals etc.

There is a proposal to go digital, saving copies in text searchable PDF or similar form.

There are only 5 fields that would need to be associated with each PDF (or other filetype)

Main Category
Sub Category
Date
Title
Source

I want to be able to search by these fields, as well being able to search the OCR text of the PDF.

How would people recommend setting this up?
