I'd like to be able to dump a library of say 1000 pdf documents onto my server, and then have a (iPhone-compatible) web interface where I can search the library and link to the relevant documents.

Any recommendations as to how to do this? I'm sure some cms out there would probably do this, but I don't really want the bloat, just a simple searchable web page to a bunch of pdfs.

If the mobile version of google docs let me actually download the pdfs I upload I'd be good to go, but unfortunately it doesn't. :grumble:

Perhaps you could use Dropbox (http://getdropbox.com), especially once they make an iPhone-specific web interface.
