Hi all,
I am looking to index the entire directory of PDF files. We have a very large volume of PDFs (3000+, possibly much more), so adding them manually would be cumbersome. I have seen more than a couple of dozen links explaining how to index PDF using SOLR, but none were details enough to help me get started. I understand that indexing a word or PDF document requires the use of the ExtractingRequestHandler which uses Apache Tika. My question is: How do I configure the Handler so that it can extract the required information from bulk loads of PDF? I know I am asking a broad question, but I am struggling to find a good guidance and something that would give me a step to step approach. There is an example configuration in the following link: http://wiki.apache.org/solr/ExtractingRequestHandler I have also seen these threads: http://stackoverflow.com/questions/5947157/index-search-pdf-content-with-solr http://www.gossamer-threads.com/lists/lucene/general/158117 I am still trying to understand the configuration process, so any concrete help would be welcome.
