Update the Spotlight index without writing a PDF file
If I don't care about getting the text from a file, but simply want to find it, it would be really cool if you could just add the text to the Spotlight index

that is what i mostly use ocr for - to find documents. i think this is a great idea, please include a watch folder so all my scans get indexed automaticaly

I think that it is possible (although a bit of a hack), and you're right, it does solve lots of problems.

If this was an easy implementation (I'm not even close to a coder, so I wouldn't know), wouldn't this provide be a relatively easy work-around to the file-size issue?
