Take a PDF where you know the title. Then do this: <?php echo "<PRE>", implode("", file("/path/to/your.pdf")), "</PRE>;?> Now search for that title in your browser (control-F). Figure out what PDF markers (like HTML tags, only not) are surrounding the title. Write PHP code to find those tags and extract the title from between them. -- Like Music? http://l-i-e.com/artists.htm
