Plugin or option for PDF indexing

Hi, I have a lot of PDFs and Zotero option for PDF indexing are restrictive for my use (actually I have 22 not indexed, 9 partially indexed and 400 indexed). I use a lot the advance search function "Attachment Content".

There are any plug in for improve the indexing and attachment content search?

I'm not really clear what you're asking? It sounds like nearly all of your PDFs are indexed. Some files can't be indexed because they don't have text layers or the text isn't extractable for some reason.

Yes. I have a lot of PDF, all scanned with Adobe PDF or plugin Zotero OCR but not all are indexed and I can't search all attachment contents.

I'm still not really understanding what you mean here. You have 400 files indexed. You can see if a given file is indexed by looking at the Indexed field in the right-hand pane after clicking on the attachment item.

If you're finding that you can't find a given word in a file, that's likely a problem in the OCRing, but you can send the file to support@zotero.org with a link to this thread and we can take a look.
