[Zope] ExtDocument problem

[Giuseppe Bonelli]

Hi Vineet,

I would try the following debug path:

1. check whether pdftotext works by running it from the shell
2. check in ExtDocument.py that you pass the right filename argument to =
PrincipiaSearchSource
   I bet that the problem is in the filename passing, so here is what =
works for me:
     	def PrincipiaSearchSource(self):
		"""Convert data to raw text (don't bother formatting)"""
		filename=3Dself._get_filename(self.filename)
		content_type=3Dself.content_type
		if content_type =3D=3D 'application/pdf':
			return popen('pdftotext -raw %s -' % filename).read()
		elif content_type =3D=3D'text/plain':
			return popen('type %s' % filename).read()
		else:
			return 'abracadabra'
3. after confirmig 1. and 2. above, check in the Catalog (locate the =
extDocument entry under Catalog tab) what you got in =
PrincipiaSearchSource.

I hope this helps.
