OCRed PDF with Adobe Pro: indexed but search returns empty

florianep · October 7, 2013

I am obviously doing something wrong here, but for some reason the scanned PDF that previously I ran through Adobe Pro OCR function are not searchable. Does anyone know what I may be missing here?

Is this unrelated to https://forums.zotero.org/discussion/32158/no-indexation-of-pdfs-with-names-in-cyrillic/ ?

Completely, I am trying this with English articles, so language is not the problem.

The bug in the other thread affects any file that has Unicode characters in the file name. Unlikely with English titles, but still possible.

Either way, you should provide the same information that Dan requested there. We can't say anything without Debug ID

Thank you aurimas. The Debug ID is D1064466157

Not sure how you're searching, but that file is being indexed just fine.

In fact, it is the "search by attachement content" in the Advanced Search that doesn't work, also with non-OCR PDFs. Same issue as here: https://forums.zotero.org/discussion/7560/

Do you have the "include parent and child item" box checked? You need to for the attachment content search.

Yes I do.
