Is the "couple of meg" the PDF file size or the size of the extracted text? If it's the PDF file size, you might be surprised at the size of the text when it's converted to plain text. You could add a text column to your database and use something like pdftotext to save the plain text content. -- James Healy <jimmy-at-deefa-dot-com> Mon, 06 Jul 2009 13:03:59 +1000 --~--~---------~--~----~------------~-------~--~----~ You received this message because you are subscribed to the Google Groups "Thinking Sphinx" group.
