I have over 500 PDF files on my laptop for a certain hobby. At the moment I'm looking for this through a folder system, which is pretty annoying.
So now my question is one can ever create such a database.
The database should be structured in a way that I can easily search for certain criteria, as in Acces MAIN DATABASE.
I thank you in advance!
PS: I have a Mac laptop, the program would be based only on Windows, but that would not be the biggest problem.
Why not use access if you already know it?

Come on, what you really want to do with it. If the database should also be able to store and / or search the contents of the PDFs, then you need some programming knowledge…
If it is only a directory, then an Excel spreadsheet is sufficient. You could use different columns to enter title, category (group or so) and comments and in the last column a link to the effective document. The table in Excel can be filtered and sorted and by clicking on the link you can open the PDF directly.
No you should not save contents of the PDF just the name of the PDF. That's synonymous with excel I know, I'm only looking for a more vivid version.
I use caliber for that. This can be arranged and sorted eBooks in other formats.
Caliber has an integrated web server which can then also display the database very clearly in the browser.
