I’m looking for a self hosted solution to this problem:

I want to create a full text search index from a collection of PDF manuals (text, not images, I don’t care about OCR here). There is a UI to search for text matches in documents, and clicking a search hit opens the PDF scrolled to where the search hit is (bonus points if the search hit is hilighted)

    I think there is some confusion here.

    Paperwork is a desktop application, not a web application. (eh, self-hosting doesn’t necessarily always imply web applications ! :). I for one use Nextcloud and nextcloud-desktop to keep my Paperwork work directories in sync on all my computers.
