I developed a java spidering routine that collects links to be indexed then we cfhttp to get the pages and strip out the tags and put the resulting text into a database table.

The version of Verity that comes with MX will index PDFs up to a certain version of PDF but not the most recent stuff. We use a product called 'pdftotext' that is part of the xpdf product from <http://www.foolabs.com/xpdf/home.html>. We get the text from the pdf and then put it into the table that we use for indexing. > > I tried #1, and Verity created a 500k log sysinfo.log file full of complaints. > > As for the PDF part anyone using Red Hat and Verity to successfully index > their PDFs? > > I've created a database generated collection with this configuration and it > works fine.
