I want to use Solr with PDF files, but I don’t know how configure solrconfig.xml and schema.xml. What should I write in those file ? The aim is to do full-text search with synonym or spell checker for example.(I use Solr on Windows, and in the future i will use the API SolrNet).Thank you !
You would use Tika to extract text from a PDF file.
Tika extracts metadata from the PDF document, for title,
author, and so on. As such, your schema should include fields for
title and author.
Tika extracts the body of the PDF document to the content field, so
your schema should also include a content field.
Once Tika is configured, you issue a HTTP POST to Solr, specifying the PDF file you wish to index:
curl 'http://localhost:8983/solr/techproducts/update/extract?literal.id=doc1&commit=true' -F "myfile=@example/exampledocs/solr-word.pdf"
If you need to map the fields Tika generates (title, author, content) to different fields in your Solr index, you can use the fmap feature:
fmap.content=text would map Tika's extracted content field to Solr's text field.
