As for the database, I chose to use Oracle® Database XE since it was free and was capable of indexing PDF documents but, it was my plan to expand database compatibility to other platforms over time. To develop the application quickly, I decided to build it with Open Object REXX, a scripting language with GUI support that I was very familiar with from my OS/2 days. In early 2009, after being unsuccessful in locating a solution, I started building PDFKeeper, an open-source application that would use a free, full-text search ready, relational database for PDF document and notes storage, targeted at the Small Office Home Office and Small Business community.

In addition, I had a requirement to store notes in the database with the PDF document that would also be searchable. What proved to be an even bigger challenge was locating a free solution that could store PDF documents in a free, full-text search ready, relational database that could be accessed by anyone on the local area network. With both digital and paper documents stored in many places, it was becoming a challenge to locate documents quickly, especially at tax time. PDFKeeper began as an idea to solve a personal document storage issue.
