Search for text in Scanned(OCRed) pdf documents.

I want to develop a component for pdf(asset) searching. The existing QueryBuilder API does not search thru  Scanned and OCRed PDF files. It searches only normal PDF files. Is there a way I can achieve this?

Out of the box with AEM, this is not supported. You would need to use a Java lib that is able to perform this task (assuming that a Java API exists that can do this job) and build a custom AEM service. This Java API looks like it may be the way to proceed with this use case.
