Hello, I've got an issue regarding PDF preview: when I try to preview a PDF file, I get the following error: L'aperçu ne peut être généré pour ce document

Technical issue:

Blob path: default

org.nuxeo.ecm.platform.preview.api.PreviewException: Error during conversion

Apart from this problem, I also want to perform full-text search on PDF files ut when I try to search a word contained in a PDF File, the result is empty.

Thank you in advance, Rado Andriamahady

Hi,

Hi, Thank you for your answer. In fact I tried a text pdf, an image, and a mixed pdf but all of those files didn't work for the preview. My installation is under windows. I don't have this kind of message in the console. I installed poppler including pdftotext, pdftohtml... and I configured the system's path to be able to find those utilities. How do I install libwpd on windows?

did you install it through the installer or by using the zip package? What message do you have in the logs when trying the conversion? You should have libreoffice or openoffice started in background by Nuxeo, is it the case?

I installed through the installer. Where do I find the logs? I started libreoffice manually as stated in the installation manual. In fact, I can preview office files.

Could you please tell us what is your version of Nuxeo Platform ? And did you try to do it on demo.nuxeo.com?

My version of nuxeo is 5.9.4. I didn't try on demo.nuxeo.com.

I tried on demo.nuxeo.com and I still cannot preview my pdf file.

I also tried a search on a word contained in the pdf I uploaded and I get results but without my file.

Can you tell us where you put your file on demo.nuxeo.com? (it will be reset tomorrow morning anyway).
