Ben,
I downloaded pdfbox and installed it. And I can use:
java org.pdfbox.Main <PDF-file> <output-text-file>
to convert .pdf file to string file.
Then I tried to integrate with Lucene. I modified the following codes in
IndexHTML.java:
else if(file.getPath().endsWith(".pdf")) {
Document doc = LucenePDFDocument.getDocument(file);
System.out.println("adding " + "pdf files");
writer.addDocument(doc);
}
It did pass ant compiler (ant wardemo). However, when I tested:
java org.apache.lucene.demo.IndexHTML -create -index {index-dir} ..
It seems to me it still didnot pick up new IndexHTML.java, still did not index
.pdf files.
Did I miss something here?
Regards,
George
