Paper Title
Towards A PDF E‐Book Management System for Personal Users

Abstract
In Japan, e‐books have become popular since Amazon started e‐book service in October 2012. However, e‐book publishing companies have not yet provided sufficient digital versions of the new and published Japanese textbooks and magazines. This situation leads many people to produce their homemade e‐books by digitalizing their own printed books and magazines into PDF files. However, these e‐book users lack an efficient tool that allows them to manage and search the e‐books that are bought from e‐book stores and their homemade e‐books. The objective of this article is to propose an innovative PDF ebook management system for personal e‐book users. This system enables the users to search required information whose search scope varies from all e‐books to a chapter of an e‐book. Index Terms—Metadata, OCR, e‐book, search, PDF
