We installed both - EDocMan and pdf-Indexer. On a system with
- Apache Server 2.4.23
- MySQL 5.7.14
- php 7.1.0
- Joomla 3.6.3
On Indexer configuration I set a path where we placed over the years 3000 documents within 500 subfolders.
All these files are within only one category of EDocMan. I imported them after setting the field-type of "indexed_content" in database "jos_edocman_documents" from text to mediumtext what gives that field more place for its index.
Finally I startet doc-indexers new-Index-function with "Documents belong to EDocMan - and it seemed to work. For an hour or more the servers cpu was occupied with regular peaks of activities.
Unfortunately there are only 267 files indexed in document-indexers documents. And a lot of the files will not be found by the search-module. It does not matter if I do new-index or re-index and if the files belong to "none" or to "com_edocman". There are only 267 documents indexed. And also in EDocMans table "jos_edocman_documents" there are only 268 entries with "indexed_content <> NULL".
What can there be limiting the indexer? In php.ini the "max_execution_time = 300".
