Title: Steps of PDF Indexing with PPD
Post by: teeraw on March 02, 2016, 02:49:13 AM

Hello,

I'm new to PDF indexing with PPD, after I tried to take a look documentation (Also included this forum: http://www.odusergroup.org/forums/index.php?topic=1724.0)

But still not clear on step by step for this new PDF indexing.
So can anyone help to confirm my understanding as below? (If it's wrong, please suggest)

1) We need to have OD Server 9.5 with PDF Indexing Module installed.
2) We need to have PDF with PPD generated by some tools supported
3) Take a look on index built in PDF file by right-click on file then open with text editor
4) Find /PieceInfo tag, and take note for indexes listing
5) Create application group with same indexes name to item#4 and some special system indexes as needed (load_date, app_id)
6) Create application
      - View Information: Data Type: PDF , or Data Type: User definied with pdf extension
      - Indexer Information:
INDEXSTARTBY=1
RESTYPE=ALL
INDEXMODE=INTERNAL
      - Load Information: Revised to matched indexes listing in item#4

7) Create folder
8) Test arsload


Note: More questions, can we load PDF file with password protected?

Many Thanks.
Teera W.

Hi Teera,

Happy to give you some feedback.

1: You can also use CMOD 9.0, with PDF Indexer, and THEN install patch 9.0.0.3. But 9.5 is perfect.
2, 3, 4 & 5: Well, the normal way to go would probably be to tell the person who creates the PDF with PPD in it which index fields to include... but your method is not wrong, it will work.
6: DEFINITELY "PDF" and not User defined...
Indexer information; don't forget to set Indexer = "PDF"...  ;) Your parameters are correct.
Load Information; remember to set "Data Compression", you have loads of data to gain by using compression now.
Our tests show that sizes went from 15-40% compression without the PDF Indexer to 70-80 % compression with. We use "OD77".

7: Yes.

Your note; Bud Paton can tell you, but I am about 90% sure that I read somewhere that this can NOT be done with password-protected PDF files.
If your files are password protected, I would suggest you go with another indexing method.
