This feels somewhat backwards. It's very hard to extract Line-Number information out of MSWord and next to impossible from PDF. So, it's not whether the Solr is a good fit or not here is that maybe your whole architecture has a major issue. Can you do this/what you want by hand at least once? Down to the precision you want?
If you can, then yes you probably can automate the searching with Solr, though you will still have serious issues (sentence crossing line-boundaries, etc). But I suspect your whole approach will change once you try to do this manually. Regards, Alex.
