Hi Actually, I use a modified version of the ExternalFile product ; this product store file's metadata into ZODB, while the real document is stored on disk. I've just created a PrincipiaSearchSource method which retrieve document text which should be fully indexed, via external commands (pdftotext, catdoc,...). It actually works quite well with several documents types : DOC, PDF, PS, XLS, PPT, HTML and RTF (and ASCII files, of course !). Thierry On Tue, 2002-07-16 at 11:27, Igor Leturia wrote:
Hi!
I would like to know if it is possible to catalog in Zope some documents (word, pdf, excel...) that are in the local hard disk, not in the ZODB. I've been looking round zope.org and I found some products (ZCatalog, Kaivo Document Library, MSWordDocument, etc.), but I am not sure if they can catalog external documents and if they can catalog non-html documents such as word, excel, pdf, powerpoint, etc. I thought I could just ask the list for help, instead of wasting some hours installing and trying them. Can anyone help me?
Thanks in advance,
Igor Leturia
