Hello Diane,
There is a plugin to parse pdf files. You have to enable it in nutch-site.xml (just copy entry from nutch-default.xml).
You have to change plugin.includes property to include parse-pdf plugin:
[...] parse-(text|html) [...] to [...] parse-(text|html|pdf) [...]
Regards
Piotr

Does Nutch have a way to parse pdf files, that is, "application/pdf" content type files?

I noticed a plugin variable setting in default.properties:

plugin.pdf=org.apache.nutch.parse.pdf*

I never changed this file.

Is that the right value?

I am using Nutch 0.7.

What do I have to do make parse pdf files?

When I do the crawl, I get this error with application/pdf files:

050831 145126 fetch okay, but can't parse <mainurl>/research/126900/126969/126969.pdf, reason: failed(2,203): Content-Type not text/html: application/pdf


If it's not possible, what future version of Nutch do developers expect to support application/pdf types and have such parsing of pdf files available?

Subject
Adding small batches of fetched URLs to a larger aggregate segment/index






Hi,

I have a number of sites that I want to crawl, then merge their segments and create a single index. One of the main reasons I want to do this is that I want some of the sites in my index to be crawls on a daily basis, others on a weekly basis, etc. Each time I re-crawl a site, I want to add the fetched URLs to a single aggregate segment/index. I have a couple questions about doing this:

1. Is it possible to use a different regex.urlfilter.txt file for each site that I am crawling? If so, how would I do this?

2. If I have a very large segment that is indexed (my aggregate index) and I want to add another (much smaller) set of fetched URLs to this index, what is the best way to do this. It seems like merging the small and large segments and then re-indexing the whole thing would be very time consuming -- especially if I wanted to add news small sets of fetched URLs frequently.

Thanks for any suggestions you have to offer,
Bryan
