Unable to perform content search in PDF files

Hi All,
I am able to search the file based on content in .doc and .txt however the search result has not included the .pdf files despite it includes the content I am searching for.
Do I need set any domain properties.
Thankx.

Perform a FileManager.updateDocument and supply the id of the document to update along with a definition containing the new file name (Attributes.NAME).
For example ... to rename document.out to document.pdf
ManagersFactory session = ....
FileManager fileM = session.getFileManager();
Item doc = fileM.resolvePath("/path/to/document.out", null);
// rename to document.pdf
fileM.updateDocument(doc.getId(),
new NamedValue[]
ClientUtils.newNamedValue(Attributes.NAME, "document.pdf")
}, null);
Note also that you could add a new format from Enterprise Manager for ".out" files, if all ".out" files were of type pdf.
cheers
Matt.

CF perform word search on PDF files?

Can CF MX (6.1 or 7) perform a word search of PDF documents?
What I would like to do, at the minimum, is have CF search
PDF files located in a directory for a specific word, and return a
list of files that have that word (or phrase) in them.
am I asking too much?
Thanks for any and all help.

Yes. Use the Verity search engine that comes with
ColdFusion.

Odonnells52 you will still need to install Adobe Acrobat Professional prior to being able to make edits to PDF or utilize Acrobat. By default the installation files have been saved to your download folder.
If you continue to face difficulties with the Adobe Download Assistant then please see Troubleshoot Adobe Download Assistant.
You can also download the installation files directly from Download Acrobat products | Standard, Pro | XI, X if you are unable to locate the downloaded installation files.

Windows 7 32 bit search of PDF files does not work

I have installed Windows 7 on a 32 bit Dell Laptop and I can no longer search the content of my PDF files using Microsoft's search in Windows Explorer which I need to do. I’ve tried following the advice listed on several sites on line and nothing seems to work. My 64bit processor required a download of Adobe PDF iFilter 9 for 64-bit platforms and those systems work fine. All the write-ups suggest that Reader XI for 32 bit Windows 7 has the filter built in and Microsoft indexing indicates it is there but I still can't search for words in a PDF like I could using Windows XP.
Any advice would be greatly appreciated! Thanks in advance for any help.

I will never understand why but in the end I rebuilt my 32 bit dell laptop from scratch and the pdf files can now be searched.
I cannot search them on a mapped drive as I was able to with Windows XP because now they must be indexed and windows 7 will seems not to allow a mapped location to be indexed which must be done to make the pdf files searchable so I have had to move the files to the local drive.
My Windows 7 64 bit systems can search the mapped drives just fine without needing to be indexed. Again I will never understand why this works and the 32 bit machine does not.

Problem searching some PDF files in Acrobat Reader – Non-ASCII characters

Acrobat Reader cannot search some .pdf files. I have put an example document up on Scribd here.
Any attempt to search for any word that can be clearly seen to be in the document fails with “No matches were found.”
This example document is NOT a scanned document – words and characters can be selected.
A hex display tool shows that the characters in a PDF document that can be successfully searched are in the ASCII/1252 range (A=0x41, etc).
Copying and pasting characters in the example document to a hex display tool shows that the characters in the document are not in the ASCII range.
For example the letters A to Z in the example document are in the range ‘A’ = 0xDF (decimal 223), ‘B’ = 0xDE (decimal 222), through to ‘Z’ = 0xC6 (decimal 198).
However, characters in these non-ASCII ranges are displayed perfectly by Acrobat Reader, as can be see if the example document is opened.
Therefore, as Acrobat Reader knows what these characters are, it doesn’t seem unreasonable to say that it should be able to search for and find them.
Tests were performed using Acrobat Reader X v10.1.4.
Can anyone say what this problem is?

Hi Pat, thanks for your reply.
Your reference to the title of that page being 'HARNESSES' indicates that, when you view that document in Adobe Reader, you are seeing 'HARNESSES', not
"ØßÎÒÛÍÍÛÍ". And that the remainder of the document is similarly being displayed in readable English language.
Yes as you say, you can search for 'ß' and get hits on 'A' (to use that as an example) in the example document.
But the need to form a word to be searched for into whatever code mapping this is using (for example having to enter "ØßÎÒÛÍÍ" for HARNESSES - I'm not even sure how that would be entered from a keyboard) doesn't seem to be very convenient.
Its clear the example document is using some code mapping other than ASCII / Windows-1252 (which has 'A' as 0x41). But it is also clear that Adobe Reader knows what that mapping is, and knows to use it, as its displaying (for example) 'A' for the code 0xDF.
So I guess the question is - why isn't Adobe Reader's knowledge of this mapping being extended to its search input?

How do i search a pdf file

how do i search a pdf file on acrobat.com?

Currently, you cannot search the PDF content when it is placed on Cloud.
You need to use the Adobe Reader to search the PDF.
The Reader can be integrated with Acrobat.com and then you can open your files in Reader application and with ctrl-F you can search any word.
You can do some more search with multiple files using Advanced Search.
In the Reader application, choose Edit > Advanced Search.
Link to install Reader:
Adobe - Adobe Reader download - All versions

Hey there
"pdf creator" for iPad works flawlessly for me working with pdf files
It takes care of all my needs
I'm not sure about sending via Wifi or Bluetooth but I send them via e- mail all the time
Possibly it could handle your needs as well
Just type it into the App Store search field and the first one that comes up is the one I use
Jump on over there and read up on it before buying and see if it will help you
Hope this helps

Maybe i do not understand the cfpdf tag the right way.
What i want is a kind of pdf-to-text conversion.
Do I have to use the processddx action? I do not think so.
But there is a property DocumentText .. ?

Is it possible to extract the contents of any PDF file using Adobe PDF SDK?

Is it possible to extract the contents of any PDF file using Adobe PDF SDK?
For Example: There is one pdf file. Let us say xxx.pdf with 32 pages. I am interested in only in a topic present at 10th page. Can I extract this information and save it into another pdf file (means new pdf file)?

Thanks Irosenth,
I am actually interested in extract the page and create a new PDF with that page. But still there is a catch that on which basis the page needs to extract either on PAGE number OR on Bookmark basis.
But here in this scenario assume I am looking for the PDF file, now I want to save only page 5. How can I extract page 5 automatically/programmatuically? Or in simple word how can I get the reference link of page 5?
Here I am not getting clear picture that Do I need both SDK Adobe & Acrobat to achieve this requirement. And more over you have mentioned that SDK itself is free. But on Adobe side it is mentioned that it is available by license only with this I have another doubt: To work my desktop/system application with Adobe PDF library, this library needs to distribute with the application. So in this case will it be chargeable for each and every deployment.
Could you please provide me the link from where I can download the SDK? So that I can do some excerise with SDK to figure out the exact flow of functionality to work with my application.
