when you say external PDF converter, do you mean the pdf converter I created the pdf file with? I have tried to index a microsoft word file also, but the result is the same: an empty index.
You need converters from the media format (i.e. PDF, MS-Word, ...) to text (or maybe better named: text extraction utilities). The standard PDF converter is "XPDF" (which contains "pdftotext" (or similarly)). The standard Word converter is "wvware". -- Dieter
