Searching a text in PDF file which is having more than 1000 pages

I am developing a web site. I want to search a pdf file for a search string and show the results on web site. PDF file is available and when user enter some text to search the results should be shown. I have tried with "pdf object" and that is not the thing I want to be done. My need is not to view the pdf on web site but search the pdf.

Libpoppler can help. It parses PDF.

With Libpoppler comes the pdftotext command-line utility, which may suit your purpose (it comes among others in the Debian package poppler-utils). Better however may be pdfgrep, a tool to search for text in PDF files, which does not come with Libpoppler. All of these are available in Debian, perhaps among other places.
