Problem when searching for PDFs with Indexing Service in ASP-solution.

[Martin Emanuelsson]

Hello,

I have a problem with a small asp-solution that searches for PDF-documents
with
indexing service.

For some files in the search result I get gibberish returned, such as

The only difference between these files are that they seem to be saved with
different PDF versions or something like that (looking in File --> Document
Properties of the files).

The "bad" file has the following information there:
Creator: Windows NT 4.0
Producer: Acrobat Distiller Daemon 3.01 for HP-UX A.09.01 and later (HPPA)
PDF version: 1.1 (Acrobat 2.x)

The "good" file has the following information:
Creator: AdobePS5.dll Version 5.1.2
Producer: Acrobat Distiller 4.0 for Windows
PDF version: 1.3 (Acrobat 4.x)

A small part of the code looks like this:
******************************************************
set objConnection = Server.CreateObject("ADODB.Connection")
set objIndex = Server.CreateObject("ADODB.Recordset")
objConnection.ConnectionString = "Provider=MSIDXS;"
objConnection.Open
strSQL = "SELECT Characterization, Filename, Path FROM
se_got_data.limspdf..SCOPE() WHERE "

objIndex.Open strSQL, objConnection

do until objIndex.EOF
Response.write objIndex("Characterization")
objIndex.MoveNext
loop
objConnection.Close
Set objConnection = nothing
******************************************************

The problem seems to be this Characterization-part of the earlier version of
PDFs. Has anyone experienced anything like this before??

You need to install the Plugin. Acquire it from Adobe.

If you mean the plugin Adobe PDF IFilter 5.0 then it is already installed on
the server so that is not the problem. Not unless there is some sort of
setting that needs to be done for the plugin?

I have to check with the business people where I'm working if that is ok or
if it's all confidential. I'll get back to you as soon as possible.

I tried posting two test files to this newsgroup but got an error message
saying the message was too big (with two attachements with a size of about
130 kb in total).

Could send them directly to you if that's ok Hilary? And to anyone else
interested for that matter.

the jibberish is in these docs.

There isn't a whole lot you can do, other than convert all the docs to the
"good" format. you might want to talk to Adobe.
