PDF Indexing error (zotero standalone and zotero add-on)

    Also note that, while the official version of pdftotext should be fine, Zotero requires a custom version of pdfinfo, so don't replace that.

    I wish you an excellent work, and keep on doing such a good tool, I appreciate it very much and spreading the voice, although you certainly don't need it.
    best regards

    I have a problem that is very similar to that reported by mibigo. My PDF documents appear to be indexed, but the search function cannot find them. Reindexing them does not help.

    I tried the PDF document that you suggested, above, and got exactly the same results. I have not found even one PDF for which indexing works.

    I would be grateful to have your suggestions for how to trouble-shoot this.

    Thanks.

    Njall - how exactly are you searching for them - the default in the quick search bar doesn't search for attachment content - you need to select "Everything" with the little arrow next to it or search for attachment content in the advanced search (magnifying glass).

    Thanks very much adamsmith. I was, indeed, not searching the whole content.
