Finally I customised code and I build a system according to my needs.
The only thing I wanted to ask is about searching inside doc and pdf documents uploaded in the server.
In plugin file edocman.php indexed_content field of edocman_documets table is used for this (I guess). But how i populate this field for every document I upload on server? Is there any additional tool? PDF indexer maybe?

Thank you

Is it possible to have an answer on my previous question regarding document indexing? :)

Hi

Yes. It needs an extra plugin called EDocman Indexer. Please see www.joomdonation.com/74-edocman/16396-ed...n-release.html#17880

Hi Tuan,
Thnx for your reply.

I installed indexer. The first problem I noticed is that file adapter.php is not installed and I put it manually on plugins/edocman/indexer.
I tried to create a new doc with a pdf file ( in the administrator side) but no index occurred. The field indexed_content is null.

I had a look in your code and I found out that the binary pdftotext was not executable and accessible for all users so I changed to 777 mode (I use a Mac and the server is within my Mac). But still no result. Then I tried to run the command

pdftotext -enc UTF-8 filename 2>&1

from your pdf.php file and it produced a txt file with all content of the pdf file which in normal situation I guess it feeds indexed_content field.

Do you have any idea where the problem might be?
