Hi!

We use OpenKM 6.2.1 on Windows Server 2008R2. Preview and download as PDF is working fine. But we can't search content of PDFs. How I have to configure OpenKM to get this working?


Regards
Sascha

You can search by going to "advanced search" and search in "content"

I know it, but it don't works. OpenKM only finds text in my rtf-files. The PDFs are searchable, i have testet it on OpenKM-Demo.

So what I have to do to make OpenKM search the content of my PDF-Files?

Your pdf contains images ? because in online demo we have OCR engine enabled ( this could be the cause of the problem )

No, the pdf that I use for testing contains only text.

I have tested with a files that contains images an a text-layer for indexing. Same problem as with text-only pdf. :-(

We have enabled OCR in our setup, too.

If you go to administration -> stats -> there's and option to see if there're documents pending on indexing queue ( is queue empty ? )

I only found an option to see the text extractions queue. There are no current extractions and no pending extractions.

I can't find an indexing queue. :(

If you go to administration -> there's and option to see stats ( some graphics with number of documents etc... ) there's an option at top right. Make a screenshot if you do not see it.
