Searching pdfs in an internet knowledge center

after creating pdfs and uploading them to our knowledge center we are unable to search on text. only the title and description is searched. how do you make pdf text, the whole document, searchable on a knowledge center?

Having posted to the Scanning & OCR sub-forum implies your PDFs have scanned images of textual content.
An image of text cannot be searched. The PDFs need to be OCR'd first.
If the PDFs are not of scanned images then perhaps you need to rebuild the index for whatever your web-based center uses as a search engine.
Be well...

I cannot open any PDF's in Internet Explorer

Starting just a few days ago, I can no longer open PDF files in Internet Explorer (IE 9). I'm not sure, but this could have started when I upgraded from Reader X 10.1.5 to 10.1.6.
I can open PDF's fine in Firefox 19.0, just not Internet Explorer. I have tried numerous suggestions that I found in this forum and elsewhere:
Turned off popup blocker.
Changed the Internet option in Adobe Reader's preferences to both open PDF's in the browser and not to open the PDF in the browser. Neither option works.
Tried running Internet Explorer in Compatiilty View for the websites where I am trying to view the PDF files.
There was a suggestion to clear the Internet Explorer cache. I could not find that option (cache) under the Setting for IE. The closest thing I found was Temporary Internet Files, so I deleted them.
I uninstalled Adobe Reader and installed an earlier version (10.1.4).
I made sure that the plugin/extention 'Adobe PDF Helper' was enabled.
None of the above has helped. I'm just about out of ideas. The fact that I can still open PDF's using Firefox makes this less than an emergency, but I would really like to get this resolved.
I had some trouble searching this forum (Adobe Reader) thoroughly, so if there is another post out there that has some solutions (other than the 6 items I already tried) please fell free to post a link to it.
Thanks in advance for any help.

I just thought I would add some information (albeit vague) on how I solved this problem. I had another computer (laptop) that was not experiencing this problem. I compared the IE settings on the laptop with the IE settings on my desktop and changed all the settings on the desktop to match the laptop. I then restarted IE on my desktop and was able to open PDF files! Since it was working for me, I didn't go back and try to figure out which of the changed settings led to the solution to the problem. If enough people on the forum request it, I will try to go back and isolate the pertinent settings.

Acrobat PDF reader for Internet Explorer may be unloading/unabling custom plugin

Hi,
My question is basically to understand what is happening in this situation so that I can find where is the problem and how to solve it.
We have used Acrobat 6.0 SDK to develop our custom plugin. This plugin is basically wrapper to few basic tools (note, stamp, text ) etc.. provided by Acrobat 6.0 SDK. We have also developed PDFViewer.dll to view PDF document within Internet Explorer. So when user load document within our website this PDFViewer loaded with the custom plugin and user can use those tools.
We are installing this plugin under <Acrobat X>/Plug_ins/<Company Name>/MyPlugin.API.
In our web site we are giving list of documents and when user click on a document it will load the PDFViewer and custom plugin. We are loading Acrobat.exe in advance so that we can load quickly. Now the problem happens when user open any other PDF in different tab or instance of Internet explorer. ?How?
Consider in a internet explorer user logged in our web site and then he/she can see let's say 10 documents. 1.pdf, 2.pdf, 3.pdf, etc...
Now when user select document 1.pdf we are loading that PDF in the IE within our PDFViewer with custom plugin. (Here I have seen that behind the scene Acrobat.exe is loaded in the processed using task manager)/ If at this time if user opens another instance of Internet explorer or another tab and open a PDF document it opens PDF in the standard Adobe Reader PDF viewer for Internet Explorer resides at (C:\Program Files\Common Files\Adobe\Acrobat\ActiveX).
If at this time user goes back to our site and tried to work on 1.pdf our custom plugin works fine BUT if user opens any other document (let's say 2.pdf) the plug in stops working basically looks like it is not loaded.
This issue only happens if user opens a document in another internet tab or explorer instance and open PDF which resulted in to open Acrobat Activex for internet explorer. If user opens a PDF document out side of internet explorer it is not creating any problem because at that time ActiveX does not loaded.
So my guess is something is going on when ActiveX for PDF is get loaded into Internet Explorer.
I want to know more what is happening and why it is happening. Due to this behavior our web site users can't use any other web site which opens PDF documents because then they have to log off and log back in our web site.
Please we need immediate help.
I am open to provide more details with screen captures.
Thanks,
Twinkle

Hi,
Thanks.
So I want to make sure this is because with Acrobat 9 - the new way to deal with PDF's? Because as per my knowledge it was working fine with Acrobat 8.
Moreover, if I am understanding correctly and I have tested too, the order is important here, right? If I will load PDF in IE first and then I will work on my web site it is not creating problem but if I will launch my web site first and then open PDF within IE in different tab it is creating problem because they are using same interface and when AcroPDF instantiating overriding and failed to load plug_in
Here I have seen that both Acrobat.exe and AcroPDF.dll is using same Acrobat.dll pointing to same memory addresses and that's why problem is happening.
IT would be great if you can provide any other way to "hook" adobe because the bottom line I have to use AcroExch.App from SDK.
One last question, I have seen that if I am opening a PDF in Internet Explorer in a different tab (not in my web app) while pressing SHIFT key and the move to my web site and load different document it is working fine, so the question is what different is happening when we open PDF in IE with pressing SHIFT key and without pressing SHIFT key. IS AcroPDF.dll behaves differently while opening PDF with SHIFT key pressed?
Thanks for all your help.

Does anyone know how to use pages so you can export pdfs from the internet and automatically drag words from the document into the file name of the pdf (i.e., author, title of a scientific paper)

Does anyone know how to use pages so you can export pdfs from the internet and automatically drag words from the document into the file name of the pdf (i.e., author, title of a scientific paper). For example, if I am downloading a paper by smith called "Surgery" that was published in 2002, it will automatically set the file name in the download to smith- surgery 2002. I have heard pages is smart enough to do this.
thank you

Pages can export only its own documents. They may be exported as PDF, MS Word, RTF or Text files.
Pages can import (ie. Open a file as, or Insert a file into, a Pages document) documents in several formats, but won't rename the document as you describe. Documents that can be Opened (eg. Text, AppleWorks 6 WP, MS Word files) are converted to Pages documents, and retain their original names, with .pages replacing the original file extension. Files that can be Inserted (generally .jpg, .pdf and other image files) become part of the existing Pages file and lose their names.
It may be possible, using AppleScript, to extract the text you want and to Save a Pages file using that text as the filename, but that would depend in part on being able to identify which text is wanted and which is not.
How will the script determine where the author's name begins and where it ends?
How will the script recognize the beginning and of the title, an decide how much of the title to use in the filename?
How will the script recognize the year of publication?
For papers published in a specific journal, with a strict format for placing each of these pieces on information, or containing the needed information as searchable meta data in the file, this might be possible. But it would require knowledge of the structure of these files, and would probably handle only papers published in a specific journal or set of journals.
Outside my field of knowledge, but there are some talented scripters around here who might want to take a closer look.
Best of luck.

Barry

How to configure to not open pdf files into Internet Explorer 10?

I have disabled the adobe complements from Internet Explorer and the preferences of Adobe to don't show the pdf files in internet but it keep also doing it.
How can configure the computer? I am using Internet Explorer 10, Adobe Acrobat 8.1 and Adobe Reader XI
Thanks for your help

Hi BG-Zic,
Acrobat 8 and Reader 11 is not a recommended configuration to install on one machine.
Please check the KB : http://helpx.adobe.com/acrobat/kb/acrobat-product-interoperability-install-remove.html
For disabling the pdf view in Browser please refer the KB : http://helpx.adobe.com/acrobat/using/display-pdf-browser-acrobat-xi.html
There's also a related registry entry :
1.Click "Start," type "Regedit" into the Search box and press "Enter."
2.Click "Yes" if a User Account Control prompt appears.
3.Navigate to the ""HKCU\Software\Adobe\Acrobat Reader\[version]\Originals\" key in the left pane of the Registry Editor, where "[version]" is the currently installed version of Adobe Reader.
4.Create the bBrowserIntegration value if it doesn't exist in the right pane by clicking "Edit," "New." Click "DWORD Value," type "bBrowserIntegration" and press "Enter."
5.Double-click the bBrowserIntegration value in the right pane.
6.Type "0" into the value data box and press "Enter."
Hope this helps.
Regards,
Ravi.

Authenticating UPK Knowledge Center users in a different domain (hosted env

Our users are in-house MSAD users, while Knowledge Center is hosted by an external provider. The techies are a bit flummoxed and try to tell us our software should accomplish this while we think there ought to be a back-end solution. We have to get the domains talking to each other somehow but they would be communicating across the Internet so all sorts of security considerations are surely involved. Server/network/domain configuration? Third-party software? Has anyone come across this situation? What's the best way to get Knowledge Center to recognise and authenticate MSAD users on Domain X while Knowledge Center itself sits on Domain Y?
Thanks

Knowledge Center unaccessible after installation completed

Hello.
I am installing UPK 11.1 ESP 2 version of Knowledge Center in Win2008R2 and we are using SQL Server 2008 R2 SP2.
Note: We are using Windows Authentication
Every time after complete with installation, i am unable to access the KCenter site. Below is the error i am getting.
" The current user does not exist in Knowledge Center and can not be added. Please see your Knowledge Center system administrator. "
Appreciate any advise / thought - i am looking around if anyone also experiencing the same issue in similar environment. Thanks
Kind Regards,

Hi Alexandre
Yes the URL is directing to the /KCenter virtual directory. The problem is not the login page - the problem is that i dont even get that far.
Once the url is entered the page starts to load and ends up with no results. the reply is "Internet Explorer cannot display the webpage"
I've eliminitad the browser to be a problem after allwoing all cockies and reapting this with FF (cockies enabled as well)
I've been repeating the installation for several times now, both on Win2K8 and Win2K3 and the same result.
As if the application will not run :-(
I tried to verify if the installation is currepted but i also used the same copy to install UPK Sever, Client and Single Seat and nothing (including in the KC instllation) had alerted a failure.
All the other three were installed and worked with no issues.... only the KC will not load :-(

I bought a pdf book last year and had no problem reading it for a few months then all of a sudden I could no longer open it and to this day. Any other pdf download off internet I can still open and read, except for that particular book. Operating system is Windows 7 Home Premium, Adobe Reader XI 11.0.07. When trying to open file I get msg "You did'nt login or your session has expired. Please log in to read this document for the first time". (Like I said I have read it before). So I log in but that prompts me to give the name of the file I want to export or convert to Word or something else, which is not what I want to do of course. I have not purchased any service from Adobe or Acrobat as I only need to read. Thanks for your help..

Unable to open pdf files using Internet Explorer and Adobe 9.1

We are unable to open any/all pdf files in Internet Explorer 6 or 7 using Adobe Reader 9.1 on Windows XP SP2.
The error message is that IE has a problem and sorry for the inconvenience.
Clicking "OK" closes IE.
We did not have any issue with Adobe Reader 8.1.
What we did to date:
1. Uninstall Adobe Reader 9.1
2. Run Windows Clean Utility to remove any remnant of Adobe Reader 8
3. Re-install Adobe Reader 9.1
Any other suggestions?
Need to have this upgrade.

I'm having a similar issue. Prior to upgrading to Acrobat 9.1 I was able to view PDFs from IE 6. No longer. Instead I get a message: "Error opening document. File cannot be found."
Help?

Thanks for the response.
I have written some function in PluginInit. I don't want to call the method when acrobat launches in IE. It should call only when acrobat launches in Desktop.
How can I call the method only when it launches on desktop.

Adobe & Internet Explorer crashing when opening pdf within an Internet Explorer window

Hello,
Can anyone help me with this issue or maybe point me in the right direction? Thank you!
Working with in a ASP that uses reader to display forms. The form opens as an embedded adobe form in a new Internet Explorer window. Once the form opens it pulls data from the ASP. At times when the form opens in the new window both the Internet Explorer windows close. Other times a "user request stop" error appears and once OK is pressed both windows close. The ASP does not know what causes this & can not seem to replicate the problem. ASP is on the other side of the country.
Would the acrotray.exe be causing this?

Unable to open PDF files in Internet Explorer

Hello,
One of our users has a problem with opening PDF files in Internet Explorer.
Translation:
Adobe PDF-document
There is a problem with Adobe Acrobat/Reader. Close Adobe Acrobat/Read and try again.
The user is using Adobe Acrobat 8 Standard in combination with Windows XP and Internet Explorer 6. I reinstalled Adobe Acrobat (under an administrator account), deleted the local user profile and the problem is still there.
Does anyone have an idea about this? The error message doesn't really say what is wrong. Adobe Reader is not installed.

What exactly means "unable"? Do you see a little x in a box on the top left of IE11? If so, this may be the solution: http://support.microsoft.com/kb/2716529

Why can't I download a pdf file using internet explorer as my browser.I can download pdfs using fire

Why can't I download a pdf file using internet explorer as my browser. I can download pdfs using firefox.

Gilad D,
Thanks for the support.
I would guess the plugin is enabled since when I use Foxfire as my browser, all pdfs download and are readable. (just doesn’t happen when I use IE as my browser, I get a blank screen with a small “x” in the upper left corner)
I will try your proposed solution.

Indexing and Searching PDF Files

Hi All,
I am trying to store and search PDF files in the oracle database.
I can insert and index the PDF files just fine but cannot get any result. I always get No Rows.
Here's what I am doing and the issues I am facing.
I created a Table with fields
ID (VARCHAR)
NAME (VARCHAR)
DOC (BLOB)
I inserted the PDF file in the BLOB field through a Java program and insert worked fine as I verified by retreiving the PDF and writing to file.
I created index using following SQL:
create index my_index on PDF_TABLE(PDF_FLD) indextype is ctxsys.context
parameters ('datastore ctxsys.default_datastore
filter ctxsys.inso_filter');
The index was created successfully without any problems.
I ran query as follows and got no rows although the searched text is in PDF
SELECT SCORE(1), PDF_FLD from PDF_TABLE WHERE CONTAINS (PDF_FLD, 'Table of Cotents',
1) > 0;
I tried alternate queries as well with no luck.
Any ideas ??
Thanks

After creation the index you need execute next operations.
first, check that your index tables conatins indexed terms. Execute
select token_text from dr$YOUR_INDEX$i;
Second, you will need to check the index errors table CTX_INDEX_ERRORS. This is owned by the user CTXSYS, and most users do NOT have # SELECT privilege to it by default.
If it's OK, then check that your PDF documents is supported by INSO filter.

"PDF - Portable Document Format
Acrobat Versions 2.1, 3.0, 4.0, and 5.0 including Japanese PDF"
(Appendix B. Supported Document Formats in Oracle Text Reference 9.2)
For Oracle 9i you could install 9.2.0.4 patchset (it included INSO FILTER 7.5)
