Open Source Document Management System | OpenKM

Thanks for your reply! I'll dig into it.

But on the other hand, i'm probably not the only one trying to index Dutch text PDF files i guess. (English text PDF works great).
I just can't figure out where it goes wrong.

Should debug the temp files created before be executed with OCR. Two weeks ago we've released portable dev environment http://sourceforge.net/projects/openkmportabledev/ my suggestion is download it, set some breakpoint into pdf text extractor, and step by step, take a look about what's happening, specially on tmp files. ( upload only one document and from crontab -> force indexing ).

Could you try one more thing for me?
I have 2 scans, doc1.pdf and doc3.pdf. doc1.pdf works, doc3.pdf doesn't.

What could be the difference?

http://www.famsouren.nl/doc1.pdf
http://www.famsouren.nl/doc3.pdf

doc3.pdf works if i first convert it manually to PNG, then upload the PNG file.

I've test in our online demo and seems there is going right. I attach here the text extracted.

Do you got the last OpenKM version ( the nighly build, because there're we've corrected some issues http://integration.openkm.com/ and here information about migration http://wiki.openkm.com/index.php/Migration_Guide).

I've tried what you said, and upgraded to build 8186.
But still i get a lot of garbage when indexing doc3.pdf.

Sadly enough i should let it go i guess, i just can't seem the get it working

Is it possible to drop the settings from the demo site here? So i can compare them.
Can't seem to view them when logging in as a demo user.

Demo is based on professional version, is not he community ( both versions have a similar base, but are quite different ).

For what you told us, with nightly build you got exactly the same problem no ? Can you post here a text file with extracted contents ?

Yes, exact the same problem.

Anyone?

So you've tested with a recent nightbuilt, haven't you?

Yes i did. I even did a clean install with Ubuntu 14.04 en OpenKM nightly.
The only thing i did was install LibreOffice and ImageMagick, then OpenKM and replace OpenKM.war with a nightly one.

I've made some improvements to PDF text extraction, please try with tonight nightbuild.

Check you have installed Tesseract and configured the com.openkm.extractor.Tesseract3TextExtractor in registered.text.extractors. If present, remove com.openkm.extractor.CuneiformTextExtractor.

Thanks for looking into this!

So i should wait till tomorrow? Build 8189 still ins't working for me.
Still the same text as uploaded in doc3.zip.

Wait until tomorrow to generate a new build.

I installed the new build and it's working great now!
Could you try to explain what the underlying problem was? (in simple english please )
