Not searching file

[dbdemaio]

I have about 10 pdfs on my site. One of them is particularly important to my users but Zoom is not indexing it. The size is slightly over 1M, and I was a getting a "file to large" message, so I reduced it to 904K. I no longer get any message but Zoom isn't indexing it either.

Any suggestions?

Thanks.

If you are using the pro or enterprise edition, you can adjust this file size limit from the limits tab in the Zoom configuration window.

If you look through your log of indexing activity, does this PDF get mentioned at all in the log? E-Mail us the log and the document if you want.

You sent the log file and from the log it can be seen that the file in question is in fact being indexed.

Why do you think the file is not indexed?

Mind you however, the text in the document is largely garbage. It looks like a bad OCR job has been done on the document. So now a typical text extract from the document in question looks like this.

fm ces and walls
awnings and shM ers
declcs and balconies

Just nonsense words for the most part. But you could still use Zoom to search for the words that are there. nonsense or not.
