Pdf documents repeated indexing

I have a number of large pdf files which I use regularly, and regularly need to find specific sections in them. When I do a search from the search field, it indexes the file, and from then on if I do a search the results appear instantly - however if I shut the computer down, the next time I open that file up and do a search, it indexes the file again! This wastes a lot of my time. Is there some reason the indexing is not being stored.
I would really appreciate some help with this as it is the biggest slow down in my productivity
Cheers
Murray

You and me too, except I can't even get past one complete index on a 600MB PDF of a service manual... the progress bar gets to the end and stays there for a few minutes before Preview crashes. 10.4.x never did this.

TREX doesn't index some PDF documents ...

Hello all,
we have installed EP'04s and TREX ver. 7.00.42.00. It works well except one thing. TREX is not able to index some PDF documents. Most of them is indexed correctly but some documents not. Actually the problematic PDF documents are indexed but their content is not. In search result is displayed message "No document excerpt available" for the documents.
I found SAP Note 622419 that could relate with that but I don't know how can I check:
1. What encoding was used in particular PDF form.
2. What fonts or what font types were used in particular PDF form.
Do you have any idea how to find out these information about a document? Or do you know where could be problem when TREX are able to index content of just some PDF documents?
Regards,
Zbynek

Thank you, that was what I needed.
So now I know the test PDF document use only TrueType fonts. That means its content should be indexable for TREX but it isn't. There is just message "No document excerpt available" for this document in search results.
Could someone look at the document and try to index it? It can be downloaded from http://www.volny.cz/kabrtz/TREX/indexing_test.pdf

Certain PDF documents not spotlight-indexed nor copy/paste to TextEdit

Hello,
I've got a problem with certain PDF documents and Preview.app. I can read them perfectly by eye (I understand there's an overlying image?) but the text characters, when copied and pasted into TextEdit, are little rectangles with a tiny alien face (?) inside. TextEdit states the font is "LastResort", but doesn't allow to change the font, nor can I save the TextEdit document ("UTF-8 cannot be used for saving the document").
The worst about all is that Spotlight doesn't recognise the PDF files, they are not indexed, so I cannot search for text inside.
I tried to open the PDF document with Adobe Reader, which opens the document, copies and pastes into TextEdit without a problem, so I believe the problem must be on the Preview.app and/or System end.
Any solution, or is this a bug? Thanks for any help!

Any solution, or is this a bug?
I think this has to do with the way some pdf files are constructed, mapping text to the Unicode Private Use Area (reflected by those Last Resort symbols you see) plus shortcomings of Preview compared to Adobe Reader. The only fix is to use the latter, and tell Apple you want Preview improved:

PDF to Word documents not indexed

I am trying to use the trial version of Acrobat X to convert PDF documents to Word DOC file format. I have found that the result is not picked up by the Indexing Service in Windows Server 2003. However, if I convert to an RTF document instead, the result is indexed. If I convert to a DOC format and then rename the file with an RTF file extension, the document is indexed. Can anyone provide any insight into why this happens? It also appears to be an issue with some other PDF conversion tools from other providers, but not all. Any help is appreciated.

If you're specifically talking about exporting to DOC format (Word 2003 and earlier) instead of DOCX, then it's a consequence of the way non-Microsoft applications write the files.
DOC files can be either binary (the format actually saved by Word) or a text-based RTF file with just a change in file extension. As the binary format is proprietary and closed, when Acrobat saves to "DOC" it actually saves an RTF file and changes the name. Word is perfectly happy with that, but some apps can get annoyed when the content of a file doesn't exactly "match" its file extension.

Why modification protected PDF documents cannot be indexed by IFilter 11 with SharePoint Search?

Hello everyone!
I have a SharePoint farm which stores a big number of protected PDF documents. Those PDF documents are protected against modification and printing! They allow copy of content and screen readers though.
I had IFilter 9.0 installed and I saw that none of my protected documents could be found... I decided to upgrade the IFilter to its latest version (11) in order to be sure it was not something which was already fixed.
Problem is that even with IFilter 11, my protected PDF documents are still not indexed! Is that a limitation of the IFilter? What kind of security configuration does the IFilter component supports?
Thanks in advance for your help!!
Carlos

I will try to be the most complete possible on the security settings of my document:
I do NOT ask a password in order to open the file
I do ask a password in order to modify the document:
Printing allowed: NONE
Modification allowed: NONE
Activate the copy of the text, pictures and other content: Checked
Activate the access to the text by screen readers: Checked
Options
Compatibility is set on Acrobat 7 and later
Encrypt the entire document option is checked
When I apply those settings, save the document and then open the security settings tab with Acrobat Pro I see that everything is forbidden except the three following options:
Copy of the content
Copy of the content for accessibility
Extraction of the pages
When I close the document and open it again with Acrobat Pro or Reader I see that only two options are enabled this time:
Copy of content
Copy of content for accessibility
So basically it seems the PDF document looses the Extraction of the pages privilege once I close Adobe Acrobat Pro.
PS: I am translating the security options from French so they may not be the exact ones you see on your Acrobat Pro if you have it in English.

How to avoid converting pdf documents to searchable text repeatedly

Can someone help me to resolve this Acrobat 8 or 9 problem.
I select a folder and initiate the conversion of all pdf documents to searchabel text (or OCR).
It works great. Next time, if I re-do the process, some documents re-convert again. Is there a way to tell Acrobat to stop converting pdf documents that already been OCR or converted to searchabel text ??

Hi,
Simplest -> OCR the PDF(s) prior to deployment to the production zone.
"Good" OCR can come from Acrobat or other applications (done ok with AdLib Server & Adobe's Capture Cluster - I'm sure there are others).
Typically, an OCR engine only knows how to do one thing - OCR what it is pointed to.
Perhaps a dedicated server application would provide more refined control - but that's not Acrobat's OCR engine.
Maybe possible -
Acrobat 8 & 9 Pro each has a Preflight Custom check that can identify if text rendering mode 3 (invisible text) - Acrobat's OCR output- is present.
Create an appropriate Preflight Profile.
Create a Batch Sequence to run the Preflight Profile.
Configure the Preflight: Batch Sequence Setup to create a report (for "On success" or "On error" or both).
Designate where the report PDF is to go.
Extract/filter the report's content to obtain a data set of what files have no text rendering mode 3 present.
Feed this data to a routine that directs/controls OCR.
"Routine" maybe possible via something with Acrobat JavaScript. Don't know.
Maybe via an Acrobat plug-in.
Maybe to control some other OCR application(?).
(Something for a real 'gritty' codehead <g>).
Myself, I try assiduously to avoid post processing my "deployed" PDFs; particular when OCR is involved.
At the work place, for on-going, PDF "streams" to be OCRd I and co-workers use AdLib Server.
So, the PDFs are OCRd prior to deployment.
Be well...

When I want to open a PDF document The box that pops up asking if I want to open or save does not come up and it always saves. I need this changed.

When the window opens to ask if I want to save or not comes up it does so for WORD documents just fine, however, for PDF documents it never asks (it used to). Now it just automatically saves them without asking. I need this changed. I went into applications and changed the setting to always ask but it still is just saving, them no window pops up asking what I want firefox to do with the file like it does with a WORD document. IF I cannot get this resolved I will not be able to continue using firefox. I teach and I have students submitting articles etc in pdf format, I cannot constantly save all pdf files. I just want to open them, review them and then move on. There must be a way to change this so that the window asking what I want firfox to do with the pdf files opens.
thank you,
kkwright

Deleted it, restarted it. tried it again. no change. repeated the whole cycle. no change. thinking about uninstalling and reinstalling, but that won't reallyk change the settings.

When I try to open Adobe Acrobat XI Pro it just freezes, it also freezes when opening a PDF document. What can be done to resolve this or troubleshoot this?

Adobe Acrobat Pro XI is having some issues. When just the base program opens it freezes before I can even do anything with preferences. The same thing happens when I open a PDF document from anywhere. I have cleared the %temp% directory and repair installed the program with no success in finding a resolution to this issue. I have removed Adobe AIR as a thread indicated that this program could be the cause of some issues. I even restarted the print spooler as that was mentioned in a different post on Adobe Support Forums.

I would suggest rebooting (particularly if you have not) and log in as the administrator. Also, it sounds like you can open Acrobat, but then it locks up when you try to do the preferences. So in that case go to Help>Repair and apply that. Then repeat the process with Help>Updates to get current. See if that resolves the issues. Since you mentioned %temp%, I assume you are on a windows machine, but which one?

How to read the data from a PDF document into SAP

Hi Everyone,
I am trying to read a PDF document from my desktop and get the data into SAP but i am not getting successful.
I am using the method cl_gui_frontend_services=>gui_upload and passing the filename and type and importing the file length and the data into an internal table.
I tried the file type as ASC but i couldn't get any records in the internal table and the filelength is displayed as 0.
When i tried the file type as BIN, it is giving the short dump. I guess that is because the file i am trying to read is not with the extension BIN.
Please Advice me on this

There is a warning about a malformed topic. I have seen projects where there is nothing wrong with the topic but where the machine needed more RAM. What are the basics of your PC?
Also try turning off PDF and generating a Word document instead. If that works, PDF from there. Does that work?

How to combine three PDF documents into one PDF document ?

Hi Folks,
I have a requirement to combine 3 PDF documents into One PDF document, let me explain clearly.
I have developed two Adobe forms in T.code SFP and I have one PDF docuement which is stored in DMS (T.code CV02n), and now I want to combine these three PDF documents into one pdf.
I have tried below link, but only 50% can able to do my requirement.
http://www.sdn.sap.com/irj/scn/go/portal/prtroot/docs/library/uuid/404e4dc1-a79c-2d10-a7b5-9a266dfed9cb?QuickLink=index&overridelayout=true
Is there any best solution to fix this.
Best Regards,
Naresh Kumar.

Hi Lukas,
Thanks for your response on this.
Krisztian's solution will work/merge only for Adobe forms created in T.code SFP but can't merge with the pdf document which is sitting in CV02N (This doesn't have Adobe form name in T.code SFP), this is what I understood.
And one more bad news is we are not able to install that unix file in our client system, it is not compatable.
Best Regards,
Naresh Kumar.

When viewing a pdf document how do I change the default or pre-set magnification?

Anytime I am directed to a pdf document by a website it opens the pdf file at 173% magnification. It tells you to open the menu to change the pre-set magnification, but I don't see a menu to open.

Maybe you did not include enough information in your question or your question was not specific enough since your reply indicates that you have already asked the question and have received an unsatisfactory answer. Please attach a screen shot demonstrating the magnification. Also include written information about where you are seeing the 173% or other magnification value that you are seeing on the image that you attach.

When i run the above code in Se38, I get an email with a attachment that i am able to open. The problem seems to be with user WF_BATCH.
I have already checked all the existing threads on this. I did this coding as per one of the SDN threads itself.
I am able to open the PDF attachment even when i test the method. The problem is only when it is run through a task/workflow.
Please advice.
Thanks and Regards,
Soumya Gayatri.

Hello,
You should see an "Edit" in the top right of your post, you can use that to edit it.
As I said, use before and after the coding, but without the spaces (after "{" and before "}" ).
Try it!
Testing:
this is code
