Upgrade Storageunindexed PDF attachment cannot be indexed by click the indexing button(the green one).
Hi! According to the instructions of @adamsmith , I have saved the unindexed PDFs as a collection in my library to let me search my references without omission.
For PDFs, doing and advanced search with
Attachment File Type --> is --> PDF
and
Attachment Content -- does not contain -- .

I have upload the settings as a captured image:

However, when I clicked the indexing button in the right window of these unindexed PDFs one by one, none of them could be indexed. The green button just rotated for a circle, and then nothing happened. The status of the PDF was still the "Indexed: No".
I'm sure these PDFs are consist of words but not images. The PDFs with such problems were uploaded as follows,
https://pan.baidu.com/s/1o8Wu3G2
How could these PDFs be indexed?
I think that the collection of "unindexed PDFs" should be assambled in the zotero 5.0 as a default collection. I cannot miss these valuable references when I'm using the advanced search. These references are important as the cited rate of them are high. Please help.

If it's not being indexed for you, we'd need to see a Debug ID for an index attempt.
Note that some files have a flag that's meant to prevent text extraction, and the PDF extraction tool that Zotero currently uses might obey that. We'll soon be pushing out a new version of the tool in an upcoming version that might be a bit more lenient. But at least with the file I tested, that's not the issue.
The bug ID is D1119059648.
I also tried another PDF which is very important for me for its Number of references ("X-ray Microtomography Determination of Air−Water Interfacial Area−Water Saturation Relationships in Sandy Porous Media").
The bug ID is D43363690.
@dstillman Thank you for your selfless help! I'm really confused by the problem.
As for the error, if you look at the debug output you can see the full command line that it's running. If you run that yourself from cmd.exe, you may be able to see the underlying error. It's not clear to me if you've indexed any files from this computer. If not, I'd guess that there's simply a restriction on running programs from this volume.
I have indexed more than 190 PDFs on this computer. But for the paper in the folder which I uploaded, they failed to be indexed. To show a comparison, I test two cases.
The first one is a PDF which is successfully indexed. The bug ID is D1201188392
The second one is a PDF with indexed failure. The bug ID is D1870897017
I have viewed the output of the bug report, but I'm afraid that I don't know how to test them in the cmd.exe. Sorry about that.
P.S. As a control group, I tried to attach the PDF directly on the bibliography instead of the link of the Zotfile, but the PDF still cannot indexed. The bug ID is D1224135229.
