Can Azure Search support indexing of documents (pdf, doc etc)

Hi,
I want to implement the azure search service indexing of documents (pdf, docs etc). is it possible ? if yes, then how ?
Thanks

Hi Shib,
I wanted to respond with a few ideas based on your question.  As of today, we do not have a document cracker for Azure Search to allow you to index the content from files such as the ones you suggested.  This is a pretty highly requested feature
(http://feedback.azure.com/forums/263029-azure-search/suggestions/6328662-blob-indexing-w-file-crackers), but we have not too date been able
to prioritize this. 
In the meantime, somethings you might consider looking at are iFilter or Apache Tika.  These are both great options that would allow you to programmatically extract the text from these files.  Based on the extracted text you could then post the
content to Azure Search.  I personally think this example on CodeProject is a pretty good starting point if you were to consider using iFilter:

I hope that helps.

  • To featch the documents (.PDF,.DOC etc) from DMS (Content server)

    I want to featch the document like pdf,doc etc through ORACLE databse.The documents are in DMS content server having MAXDB as database

    > I want to featch the document like pdf,doc etc through ORACLE databse.The documents are in DMS content server having MAXDB as database
    Ok, where's the question in this post?
    Anyhow, SAP content server is available on MaxDB only.
    The documents in it are stored in LOB-columns with a content server-internal format.
    To get the stored files back as documents they must be fetched via the content server.
    Once the files are correctly received from the content server you may store them to another database again.
    But there is no direct way to move them from MaxDB content server to Oracle.

  • How do one can upload a file (a PDF, doc etc) while filling a web form through chrome or safari? It is possible to upload a photo from the camera role, but other file types can not be uploaded.

    How do one can upload a file (a PDF, doc etc) while filling a web form through chrome or safari? It is possible to upload a photo from the camera role, but other file types can not be uploaded.

    For a variety of reasons, mostly related to security, the iOS operating system limits what can be done with respect to file uploading and downloading. But whenever you encounter a limitation like this always think, "There must be an app for this."
    Check the apps James Ward suggests.

    How do I create a fillable form from an existing document (PDF, Word, etc)?

    In Acrobat 11 you'd select: Tools > Forms > Edit
    to go into form editing mode. You'll see the tools that are available, thought it may prompt you to autodetect the fields. I usually don't do this, preferring to create them myself.

  • I cannot open all email attachment files(pdf, doc, etc) in Mail on my New IPad.

    I cannot open all email attachment files(pdf, doc, etc) in Mail on my New IPad. I installed all viewer apps but I am not able to click and hold to select the option of viewer apps to open the files. I dont get the "open with" option when I click on the arrow in the menu bar. I can open attachment files on G-mail website from Safari though. It is really ridiculous that I cannot open the files from Apple Mail app! What's wrong with it!!

    We cannot possible know what's wrong with it. But we can offer suggestions that might help.
    Try resetting the iPad - its like rebooting a computer.
    Reset the iPad by holding down on the sleep and home buttons at the same time for about 10-15 seconds until the Apple Logo appears - ignore the red slider - let go of the buttons.
    This might help as well.
    You can try resetting all settings. Settings>General>Reset>Reset All Settings. You will have to enter all of your app preferences and device settings again

  • Can Preview recognize hyperlinks (embedded URLs) in PDF docs?

    I've been trying to research this online but I get conflicting answers. Can Preview recognize hyperlinks (embedded URLs) in PDF documents? If it can, then how are those created?
    I am using Adobe Acrobat Professional v7 (on Windows) and Preview doesn't appear to see the links I've created. Acrobat Reader on both Mac and Windows works fine.

    I don't have any documents that I can test straight off, but I know Preview is limited when it comes to some of the advanced features of PDFs and you have to use Acrobat Reader for those. This might be another of those.

  • Can Preview be set to automatically open  PDF docs?

    I am often converting/printing word docs into PDF docs in iMac Lion. I would like to set so converted PDF docs would open automatically in Preview.
    Is it possible to set so? If then how?

    Thanks but I already have Preview as default. It doesn't open freshly converted pdf-s automatically. I have to go to Finder and open them from there. I would like to skip that step and make Preview open freshly converted PDF doc automatically as soon as conversion is completed and document is created in Finder.

  • Get Plugin Finding Service Error for weeks & weeks now - can't update plug-ins, need download .pdf doc, but says adobe unstable, plug-in needs update. now what

    Want to download .pdf doc, but pop-up says it's unstable, need update plug-in. Tried to update, got error message, with "try later". Same for weeks now. Tried check for updates, Firefox is up to date, clicked update plug-ins... it tries, then again... same error message: "Plugin Finding Service Error. Please try again later".
    Been so long now -- when becomes a mighty big question. Looked in forum, no joy.
    Please, can someone tell me -- what's the go. I'm absolutely no good with computers, but this needs to get fixed. Should I stop using Firefox or what?
    Thanks for your help.
    Happy 2013 to all.
    PS. (added a couple days later)
    I'm told I should have added my next question in reply to TylerDowner here, instead of as I did. Sorry if that's so (really?) but I didn't even realize I could edit this.
    So... TylerDowner, thanks very much for your reply, and please would you -- or anyone else who might be able to help -- see my first reply to you below. (seems a waste to slot in here again)
    Feelin even dumber, (ha-ha)
    raaraa

    Tylerdowner -- >> thank you << for your reply, and my sincere apologies for this delayed response (probs, hospital, blah-blah, you don't want to know).
    Have tried to download via that link but not sure if successful. Very slow dial-up connection is the pits. Waited hours 'n hours, fell asleep in chair even, finally had to give in and go to bed, left it going. Server does time out every 8-12 hours, so not sure how long it went. The download appeared complete -- ie, did not show any note of failure. Not sure if it would -- some things in the past haven't.
    Anyway, had success downloading one much older .pdf file, but the link for one I wanted had expired, and I don't know anything else to try. Tried a couple of other links I have, not sure of age of file -- on clicking link, the browser opened, but nothing more happened.
    Wondering -- is the download available in separate pieces instead of one big one? Perhaps worth trying again that way?
    Please, if you would be forgiving, and persist with me a little further/longer -- would you make your recommendation/s for next step/s please?
    Hope you're in a safe, comfortable place. So many places in the world suffering with extremes of all kinds.

  • How can I search through a scanned document?

    I often have hundreds of pages to read through for my job and I get the files in paper format and in PDF scans.  Is there an adobe program that will allow me to search a scanned document for a key word or name?  It would save me so much time.

    Hi td1137,
    If the document is scanned pdf document, you may run OCR feature in Adobe Acrobat to make the text searchable. http://www.adobe.com/content/dam/Adobe/en/products/acrobat/pdfs/adobe-acrobat-xi-scan-pape r-to-pdf-and-apply-ocr-tutoria…
    Then save the document and you may use Acrobat or Reader to search keyword in same pdf document.

  • Can Spotlight search for text inside documents?

    I just lost a vital email -- detailed instructions for something I want to do, from a friend. And I don't know where I put it (overlapping possibilities exist within my filing structure).

  • How do I / Can I access "prior" pages in a PDF Doc in iBooks?

    I am producing a pdf document that is a decisiopn tree that is to be used on an iPad or iPhone in, of course iBooks for species identifications.  I create the book in Pages (for the vector graphics & text) and am placing links using Acrobat.  I would like to allow the reader/ user to retrace their steps back through the decision tree the same as is inherent to Acrobat & Reader.  But of course the menuing items to do this are not accesible in iBooks nor in any other implementation of a PDF reader that I have found in ios.  Is this something (prior page stack - does it exist?) I can access through the developers toolkit?

  • How can I make safari open a word/pdf doc rather than downloading it?

    Safari can view a PDF file without downloading it to the computer.

    Check Safari preference / General tab and look at the bottom of the window.

  • Email attachments download as ashx for Microsoft Outlook, instead of jpg, pdf, doc, etc. Tried to fix in Preferences Applications but still doesn't work.

    Using MacBook Pro running 10.5.8. Downloaded Firefox 8 on 11/9/11 and now Microsoft Outlook Web App 2010 downloads all email attachments as "attachment.ashx" instead of jpg, pdf, etc. This was not a problem with previous Firefox releases which I've been using for the past couple of years. Can open files if I edit the extension to the proper variety (ashx to jpg for example), but no longer initially automatically opens. Instead I first get a "can't open this file" message.  Attempted to fix in Firefox > Preferences > Applications by indicating the proper "Actions" for various "Content Types" but this had no effect. Chrome and Safari browsers still work properly. How can I fix this?

  • How to Export 199 Emails from Gmail to File (PDF, DOC, ETC). And Possible to do Without Using Mail App?

    Greetings Everyone.
    I have 199 emails in gmail to be saved to a file. I do not use the Mail app on the iBook. I found a way to use a gmail gadget, but it would mean going into each and every email and saving as a document.
    Many thanks in advance.
