I don't think so. Actually, now that I think about it, Google uses
technology to generate hits on pdf's so it must be possible. Used to be it
couldn't be done but OCR programming has come a long way and could be
embedded in search engines. Unless the PDF files that are being found have
a tag for the metasearchers because they want to be found. If I recall,
when I search the net and get a pdf hit, the words in my search are still
highlighted in the document. It probably wouldn't be difficult to do the
same thing with a jpg.
Just my 2 cents.

Maybe not the right place but seems there are several web experts here.
Can web spiders read and harvest e-mail addresses from a pdf file ?
Many users and folks like QRZ.com are using jpegs not ascii for listing
e-mails -- this seems to work.
So for pdf files without going to a jpeg --- are ascii text addresses
harvestable ?
Thanks
