Publisher review:PDF Indexer - Allow PDFs to be searched via the Joomla/Mambo search module. Allow PDFs to be searched via the Joomla/Mambo search module.
This Joomla/Mambo Component allows you to index PDFs on your site and the corresponding mosbot allows that index to be searched using the Joomla search component. This allows the text of PDFs to be viewed when searching a Joomla site
As Always, PDF Indexer features:
- Unlimited Directories List all the directories you want to be indexed and let it do its job!
- Easy to use Really simple interface where you can configure the directories
- Access controls Set directories to be Public, Registered, or Special and that is honored when they search
- Additional Search Mambot Search mambot interfaces with existing Joomla/Mambo search component
How it works1. First install the component and associated mosbot.
2. Next, Upload your PDFs to various folders using your Media Manager or FTP.
3. Click on PDF Indexer in your components section and select configuration. From this screen you can select which directories you want to index. Choose between Public or Registered Indexes. Protected index will not show results until a user is registered and logged in. You can also choose to not have directories indexed by selecting "Do Not Index". (This Screen will not show up until you have at least one PDF uploaded to your Joomla or Mambo file structure.)
You will also see if your permissions are set correctly and if your joomla installation meets the basic requirements for PDF indexer.
4. Click the Save button to save your configuration and then click on the Index button. Depending on the amount of PDFs on your site it should take anywhere from a few seconds to a minute or two.
PDF Indexer will now not automatically index pdfs that have been indexed before. This will greatly increase the efficiency of PDF indexer. You can also click on PDFs that give you an error and either enter a password for that PDF and reindex it or manually enter keywords for PDFs that have been created from images or screenshots and don't contain indexable text.
Your PDFs will now show up within your search results.
Try it now by typing in "model" into the search bar at the top right hand side of this site. It should bring up a model release PDF.
