Can anyone tell me how to use Zcatalog to index contents PDFs files? if possible, then how do you get the search interface to return links to those PDFs files? thanks, Mike Tran Shufflemaster Gaming Inc.
Can anyone tell me how to use Zcatalog to index contents PDFs files?
This tutorial (http://www.zope.org/Members/rbickers/cataloganything) says: "Since Zope cannot read PDF documents, and I don't know of any Python modules that will do it, you must first convert the PDF documents into corresponding text files so that Zope can read the article text. There are a number of tools you can use to do this very quickly and with little effort." Regards, René Pijlman

The DocumentLibrary Product contains a DocumentFile object class which can index PDF files (and others). You can get it at: http://www.zope.org/Members/Kaivo/DocumentLibrary If index DocumentFiles directly in a ZCatalog (apart from a library), the PrincipiaSearchSource index can be used to search the text of the PDF. If you use the Library itself, it has a built in search interface that works out of the box. -- | Casey Duncan | Kaivo, Inc. | cduncan@kaivo.com `------------------>
