Thanks Reth,
Yes I am using Apache Tike and went by the instructions given in https://cwiki.apache.org/confluence/display/solr/Uploading+Data+with+Solr+Cell+using+Apache+Tika Here I see we can index a pdf " solr-word.pdf" to a document with unique key = "doc1" as below curl 'http://localhost:8983/solr/techproducts/update/extract?literal.id=doc1&commit=true' -F "myfile=@example/exampledocs/solr-word.pdf<mailto:myfile=@example/exampledocs/solr-word.pdf>" My requirement is to index another separate pdf to this document with key = doc1. Basically I need the contents of both pdfs to be searchable and related to the id=doc1. What comes to my mind is to perform an 'extractOnly' as below on both pdf's and then index the concatenation of the contents. Is there another less invasive way? curl "http://localhost:8983/solr/techproducts/update/extract?&extractOnly=true"; --data-binary @example/exampledocs/sample.html -H 'Content-type:text/html' Thanks Jay -----Original Message----- From: Reth RM [mailto:reth.ik...@gmail.com] Sent: Thursday, March 24, 2016 12:24 AM To: solr-user@lucene.apache.org Subject: Re: Indexing multiple pdf's and partial update of pdf Are you using apache tika parser to parse pdf files? 1) Solr support parent-child block join using which you can index more than one file data within document object(if that is what you are looking for) https://urldefense.proofpoint.com/v2/url?u=https-3A__cwiki.apache.org_confluence_display_solr_Other-2BParsers-23OtherParsers-2DBlockJoinQueryParsers&d=CwIFaQ&c=uGuXJ43KPkPWEl2imVFDmZQlhQUET7pVRA2PDIOxgqw&r=bRfqJEeedEKG5nkp5748YxbNMFrUYT3YiNl0Ni2vUBQ&m=mjl8EQIh28bi_at9AocrELmHdF6oGMDz4_-rPAaBWrI&s=83RBCYuuwc7iI4KAzkPMsyNThtsMqr9Bp9QOk1lr_fU&e= 2) If the unique key of the document that exists in index is equal to new document that you are reindexing, it will be overwritten.
