pdf indexing/searching
Hi there,

I wrote you the message asking if you had pdf search working. I was wondering if you had any advice for installing it? I'm really desperately trying to figure this out and would greatly appreciate any help.

I'm not a very good programmer and can only hack around a bit and will probably try to find a friend to help me. I've scoped out the following options and am not sure which will be easiest


 * EzMwLucene -- i think this doesn't work at all
 * FileIndexer -- I suppose it works for you :), but I'm not sure where the best documentation is for trying to install it
 * ProofreadPage/PdfHandler -- Brian Vibbor (one of the developers of mediawiki) suggested this, but didn't leave detailed instructions: https://bugzilla.wikimedia.org/show_bug.cgi?id=6422

I'm not sure if I'm leaving any out. In any case, if you have a few minutes, I would really love the chance to see how it's working for you and get any advice you might have.

Thanks so much in advance, Dana (dXXchandler@mit.edu) without the XXs

Putting a whole pdf into an index?
Hello SmartK,

I see that you are a very active user. The extension seems incredible, thank you!

I put a question on the main talk page to ask if it's possible to upload the full-text of a pdf? I don't want to lose any words if possible. When i just pdftotext in the command line, the result is just as I'd like it. Is it possible to get that same output to go straight to the wiki?
