Indexing PDFs WITHOUT using Type="path"

Greetings

For various reasons, I am trying to index some PDFs using Coldfusion's CFIndex with the type="Custom". I am currently using cffile with action="readBinary" to read the PDFs.

Using Coldfusion 9.01

Thanks

I haven't worked w/verity in ages.  But since no one else has commented ... have you tried using cfpdf action="extracttext" and indexing the pdf text (not the bytes).

Not as elegent as I would like but functional.

If you mean o/s metadata (not the pdf properties) then AFAIK that's as easy as it gets.

Glad you solved it. But don't forget to select your comment as the answer and close the question :)

It safisfied the basic requirements. It would have been more efficent if I could have place all the information I needed at indexing instead of at searching.
