There are tools for searching text in PDFs, although they don't necessarily create a database or an index (or perhaps they do?). For example this thread http://www.linuxquestions.org/questi...-files-819593/.

recoll is a GUI search application not just limited to pdfs that does create an index. The others are command line utilities.

When using tools like recoll, remember that they rely on being able to get text from the .pdf file with pdftotext or similar, and so will fail if the .pdf document has been supplied with content in an image format.
