you may be better off using something like File Hound to search through your PDFs.-skwire (July 16, 2011, 12:27 PM)

I'm pretty sure Hound uses pdftotext too.  That probably means it ignores image files as being empty of text, which should at least make the search hands-off.

I'm not sure exactly how it works, but what I've noticed in some of my PDFs: it's a scan that the library makes (image) and then they add some type of "copyright" stamp which is text. So some PDFs would be principally images, but with just some text.
