Saq caught it! You are overwriting the text field of each tiddler as it is imported with a blank string. Delete the "text" and "_cannonical_uri" fields from the config json, and you should be good. The reason we do not use "_canononical_uri" in this instance is that we are not asking the browser to fetch anything from a URL. Once the text from each file is loaded into TW as a tiddler, it is part of the native info ecosystem of TW.
I am actually exploring a way (using a well done XML pathing plugin) to "chunk" out PDFs into individual paragraph tiddlers (just an idea at this point).
