Hello Elizabeth; Yes, I have PDF files, and metadata about them already extracted.
so I need something like: <doc><add> <field id="author">someone</field> <field id=... <field id="content">content of my pdf file</field> </add></doc> it seems that the updaterichdocument patch can only accept pdfs in raw form - so it is not possible to feed metadata. Have you found a solution other then to manually convert pdf into txt then forming xmls? Best Regards, -C.B.
