If you have a budget for this stuff then Stellent provide tools for parsing multiple document types and also have a viewer that can display documents with their original formatting, plus your highlights. See http://www.stellent.com/en/products/outside_in/viewer_tech/index.htm
I don't work for Stellent and haven't used it but I do know this stuff is hard to do and they are the only ones I'm aware of trying to provide tools to cover all document types which is why I mention it. If anyone has any other similar recommendations I would be interested to hear them. ----- Original Message ---- From: Mark Miller <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> To: java-user@lucene.apache.org Sent: Friday, 8 September, 2006 2:02:47 AM Subject: Re: Highligher Example Highlighting a PDF document, last time I looked (quite a while ago), involves supplying an xml file that describes offsets for highlighting. You can specify the file in the URL. You can also do simple highlighting by passing in a list of words to be highlighted, but this does not even catch minor differences, like singular to plural. If someone knows more about using to the lucene highlighter to highlight PDF's then please speak up. I think I will have to get into this soon. - Mark Mag Gam wrote: > Thanks for the quick response Erik.
