  • Can offline mode and spider mode run together?

    How do I get search index from both local PDF files and internet web resources at the same time?

    Spider Mode can follow file:// style URL's (the option can be found on the "Scan Options" tab of the Configuration window). With this enabled, the spider will follow links to local/offline files. You could also enter local URLs as additional start points or create a page which link to all your local PDF files.

    You cannot, however, combine the use of Offline Mode and Spider Mode in one set of index files.

      Thank you Ray, I tried that option, but I got following errors:

        Make sure you have
        1) Checked the follow file:// style URL's option, as noted above
        2) Turned on indexing of PDF files
        3) That the folder nccn exists on C:\ drive
        4) That the PDF files in question exists in the nccn folder

        This also won't work as the main start point. But should be OK as additional start points.

        Another option might be to install a local web server (e.g. the free Apache software) and index your local PDF files through the local server.
