Reading parsed content from PDF or DOC files

[phani_av]

Hi,

I am trying to read the content in a particular file that has been uploaded into Alfresco. I understand that the text from DOC and PDF files is parsed and stored by Alfresco via Lucene.
So for this I would like to know or have some sample code on how to get content on a particular file uploaded to Alfresco. For this I am looking at using the Content Retrieval CMIS webscript provided OOTB.
However, I feel there is not enough documentation around the parameters that need to be passed in. I can read the parameters but there is no enough description on what those values would or should be. A sample call to this web script would really be useful to compensate the lack of enough documentation.

Also, I would like to know what are the other web scripts or any other ways that would allow me to read the actual content on a node.

Regards,
Phani

Hi phani,

We are trying to do the same: get the content of an uploaded document in Alfresco. For the moment we only have a simple webScript that retrieves the content of the doc:

var elemento = args.id;

var busqueda = search.luceneSearch("+TYPE:\"cm:content\" +@sys\\:node-uuid:\""+elemento+"\"");

model.resultset = busqueda;‍‍‍‍‍

Our our problem is that we don't know how should the freemarker and the xml be? I mean, the reponse has to be xml, html?

Hope it helps!

Luis

ps: have you find an example of how to invoke the Content Retrieval Web Script?

Hi again,

Finally we have been able to invoke the Retrieve Content Web Script in this way:

service/api/node/content/workspace/SpacesStore/uuid'>http://hostort/alfresco/service/api/node/conten...

uuid is the uuid of the content that you want to download.

Hope it helps,

Luis
