Is it possible to search inside pdf attachment files?

[Mikethemix]

I have many "modern" pdf files which include searchable text content. If I load these as attachments to a post within XF2, can I search their content?

I am confused. Are you talking about PSD (as in title) or PDF (as in message text)?

No, XF search does not index content within attachments.

No, XF search does not index content within attachments.

Is there an add-on or mod that we could purchase that does this?

Sorry, a typo on my part, now corrected, but only after you had already read it I meant PDF in both places

Hello,

I am also looking for such an add-on.

So am I.

I'm using Xenforo as an LMS and have training video transcripts that need to be searchable. Some are 5,000 words long, so too long for post transcripts.

Any suggestions?

You can adjust max words for posts in ACP or i misunderstand ?

Our VPS server now has XF enhanced search (based on elastic search). I understand that elastic search can search within pdf files attachments, can we also do that with enhanced search now?

XF does not index attachment content.

You would need a custom solution.

Thanks Paul. Do you think such a custom solution is possible? Who would have the skill to write it I wonder?
