Scooter 11 Posted January 29, 2011 Posted January 29, 2011 Hi:Searched and found a lot, but nothing this specific. I have a single .pdf file that has been indexed normally. Perhaps because it has a lot of words in a very small font, the index DID seem to find everything, but when I search, it just floats the found windows seeming at random over the image. So the narrowest it will find is to the document. After that, I have to search with my eyes (it's an image of text, not text itself - I can't search any further.)It's possible it just won't work, but the first step would be to dump the old index and force a new one. Can that be done? If so, how?
Scooter 11 Posted February 2, 2011 Author Posted February 2, 2011 Just posting to pop this back to the top of the list. The .pdf in question is a large phone list for work. I would REALLY like to be able to search it.
engberg 89 Posted February 2, 2011 Posted February 2, 2011 You may want to post on the forum for the platform you're using. My guess is that you're using the Mac client, and that's where the search results are mis-aligned with the page. There's a Mac bug that causes this to happen with certain PDF documents. I.e. it's a display problem on the Mac, not an index problem in the original.There's no way to force the server to do OCR again ... it would produce the same result every time.
Scooter 11 Posted February 5, 2011 Author Posted February 5, 2011 Oh, ok. Thanks. I just assumed since it was done on the server, this would be the place to look.
