Unhappy pstotext problem.

Hi. Again a problem trying to index pdf files.

First : the environment

Debian linux running Apache 1.3.26 . PHP 4.1.2.

PHP dig 1.8.0

Succesfully installed pstotext.

In console mode, pstotext runs very well :

The command 'pstotext file.pdf ' display the text contained in the pdf on the screen.


I also tried to redirect output of pstotext in a text file successfully.

phpdig config :

define('PHPDIG_INDEX_PDF',true);
define('PHPDIG_PARSE_PDF','/usr/bin/pstotext');
define('PHPDIG_OPTION_PDF','-cork');

verified (twice) that pstotext is in /usr/bin/ directory

The trouble is the following :

phpdig seems to read correctly pdf files but doensn't index them at all.

help me please.

Hi. Are the directories to pstotext and the pstotext file itself set to 755 permissions?

Hi.

Thank you for answering so quiclky.

The directories and pstotext file itself are set to 755 rights (rwxr-xr-x)

phpdig reads the pdf files but doesn't index them.

Thumbs up

Hi.

Thank you for your help.

I patched spider.php and robot_functions.php and it seems to be working now.

Phpdig now index some of my pdf.

I still have some problems when trying to index a directory containing only pdf files, but i'm still searching.

Thank you again

Hi. Are there links to all these PDF files? As PhpDig follows links, it won't index a standalone directory of files. Also, it seems some PDF files just take too much memory. See this thread for more details.
