Problem with upload the 'unsearchable' PDF and metadata

[bbukvic]

When I want to upload the PDF document the following error appears to me in log file: 
———————————–
16:32:32005 INFO [org.alfresco.web.scripts.AbstractRuntime] Caught exception & redirecting to template status: Exception wrapped (with the status of template): Failed to execute script '/ org / alfresco / repository / upload / upload.post . js (in classpath store file: C: / Alfresco / Tomcat / webapps / alfresco / WEB-INF / classes / alfresco / templates / webscripts) ': Metadata extraction failed:

———————————–

It seems to me that the problem is that PDF is not created as 'searchable' (perhaps this is not the right term, but I do not know how to describe it otherwise).  I can upload a normal PDF and all other document (different type) files without any problems.

What should I do and change in the configuration so that I could upload these PDF documents (I am using Alfresco Labs 3 Final version of the application)?

Hi,
I have raised a bug for this: ALFCOM-2796
It would help if you could upload one of the failing PDF documents to the bug for quicker analysis and resolution.

I upload a dummy PDF file to JIRA

The PDF only contains images (scanned text) - no actual text. That's why it's not searchable. I agree with Derek: this shouldn't be allowed to affect the upload process - does the file upload correctly or do you get an "Upload failure" message?

By the way, you can "watch" JIRA issues to be notified of updates.

Thanks,
Mike

Mike,
I think the term 'searchable' here means 'metadata extractable' hence

Metadata extraction failed:
reader: ContentAccessor [contentUrl = store: / / 2009/4…

Hello,
Just to clarify, this file can not be uploded and the error is 'upload fail'. In the first post you can see the error in the log file.
