Search in File PDF contents

[inoruhana]

Hello support team,

I followed the instruction in this document and set a content search in pdf attachment files.
But unfortunately it did not work as expected.
Could you please have a look at my site to see what’s wrong with my configuration?
I sent you a link in the private details box.

Best regards,
Inoruhana

Hi Inoruhana,

Sure! Unfortunately I don’t think we got your message with the login details. Can you please send it with the next reply? You can mark it private or upload in a .txt file – both methods are safe and only accessible to me and you

Thank you very much for the details!

There are actually two issues here. The biggest problem is, that the PDF files does not have any text in them, they are only images scanned to a PDF document, so there is nothing to extract. Another issues is (it is related to the first one), because of the images the files are extremely large, so even if there was a text, it would be very hard to extract.
If the PDF files are converted to proper text documents with reduced sizes, then the PDF indexing will start working.
