Not indexing pdf files

[jayhawk]

I am using pdftotext to index my pdf files. It converts the pdf to a txt file. I can do this successfully from the command prompt. However, when I try to index my site with phpdig it does not index the txt file. I have the following set in my config.php file:

define('PHPDIG_PDF_EXTENSION','.txt');

define('PHPDIG_INDEX_PDF',true);
define('PHPDIG_PARSE_PDF','F:/internet/search/pdftotext/pdftotext');
define('PHPDIG_OPTION_PDF','');

Any suggesions?

[jayhawk]

Any ideas? Anyone?

:bang:

hi jayhhawk,

define('PHPDIG_INDEX_PDF',true);
define('PHPDIG_PARSE_PDF','/path/to/your/pdftotext');
define('PHPDIG_OPTION_PDF','');

//---------EXTERNAL TOOLS EXTENSIONS
define('PHPDIG_PDF_EXTENSION','.txt');

this settings shold work - please make shure that here:
define('PHPDIG_OPTION_PDF','');
after the comma there are two single quotes!

hope this helps :-)

They are two single quotes. I have been trying to track down the problem. One thing to note is that when I index the site it lists the url for the pdf, but it does not have a green checkmark next to it. Does that provide any clues to the problem I am having?

Hi. Perhaps check that the permissions are 755 for the directories to pdftotext and also for the pdftotext file.

[jayhawk]

Permissions are full control (just to see if I can get it to work). Still no luck.

Hi. What version of PHP are you running? Perhaps you are experiencing the same problem as in this (http://www.phpdig.net/showthread.php?threadid=522) thread.

[jayhawk]

I'm running PHP version 4.3.4.

Hi. Try echoing out the statements like was done in this (http://www.phpdig.net/showthread.php?threadid=522) thread. What do you get?

[jayhawk]

Here is what I get:

Hi. It looks like the following is not returning a value:

echo "Does parse pdf exist: " . file_exists(PHPDIG_PARSE_PDF) . "<br>";

Try setting different paths in the following code, run it from the browser, and then use the path that produces "Does parse pdf exist: 1" onscreen.

<?php
$filename = "F:\\\\dhi-internet\\\\search\\\\Ghostgum\\\\pstotxt\\\\pstotxt3";
echo "Does parse pdf exist: " . file_exists($filename);
?>

[jayhawk]

I fixed the path problem, but it is still not indexing the pdfs. Here is what it displays:

SITE : http://dhi-internet/
Exclude paths :
- @NONE@

Hi. Do you have the following in the config file?

define('PHPDIG_INDEX_PDF',true);
define('PHPDIG_PARSE_PDF','F:\\dhi-internet\\search\\pdftotext\\pdftotext');
define('PHPDIG_OPTION_PDF','');
define('PHPDIG_PDF_EXTENSION','.txt');

[jayhawk]

I got this to work finally. Thanks for all of your help!:D
