This will not work for scanned images which do not actually contain the text. If you have the text of the documents, the best that you can do is break the text into pages corresponding to the scanned images, and index into Solr the text from the pages and the scanned image that should be linked to the text. For a user search, you will need to show the scanned image for the entire page: Highlighting of the search term in an image is not possible without optical character recognition (OCR). Similarly, if you are indexing from PDFs, you will need to ensure that they contain text, and not just images. Regards, Gora
