Indexing pdf files - question.

["Siebor, Wlodek [USA]" <si...@bah.com>]

HI,
Can sombody, please, send me a command for indexing a sample pdf with ExtractngRequestHandler file available in the /docs directory. I have lucidworks solr installed on linux, with standard schema.xml and solrconfig.xml files (unchanged). I want to pass as the unique id the name of the file.
I’m trying various curl commands and so far I have either  “… missing required field: id” or “.. missing content stream” errors.
Thanks for your help,
Wlodek

Hi Erick,

Thank you for the Reply.

Now I am able to index the PDF files and search. 
I am left with couple of questions:
1. Can I add custom field to Search Response XML (Ex: Need to as description
which gives brief description about the PDF file). 
2. Currently Solr runs as a separate application. Can I run solr in the same
application server(Tomcat6) in which my actual application resides. 

Thanks,
Mike

Did you try the curl commands that Adam suggested as part of this e-mail
thread?
If so, what happened?

Best

The sample /docs/tutorial.pdf does not require OCR.

Hi,

I use the following command to post PDF files.

$ curl "http://localhost:8983/solr/update/extract?stream.file=C
:\temp\document.docx&stream.contentType=application/msword&literal.id
=esc.doc&commit=true"
$ curl "http://localhost:8983/solr/update/extract?stream.file=C
:\temp\features.pdf&stream.contentType=application/pdf&literal.id
=esc2.doc&commit=true"
$ curl "http://localhost:8983/solr/update/extract?stream.file=C
:\temp\Memo_ocrd.pdf&stream.contentType=application/pdf&literal.id
=Memo_ocrd.pdf&defaultField=text&commit=true"

The PDF's have to be OCR'd.
