Great addition to integrate your websites pdf content into search



Posted on 05 January 2024
Functionality
It provides a simple way for you to index the content of your websites pdf and doc files so that they are included in the Joomla Search
Ease of use
There are a couple of steps but once you understand them the extension is very easy to use
Support
Excellent, Some of our pdf files would not index. Support worked with me to find solutions to the issues and even implement new features.
Documentation
Limited, but the extension is simple to use and the developers forums and support system answered any questions I had.
Value for money
Very good, having the content of over 350 pdf files searchable via the Joomla 4 smart search is a massive improvement to the site usability.
I used this to: Indexing over 350 pdf files so that the content of those files is now searchable in the Joomla 4 smart search which improves the search experience for our users.

Functionality and Support equally excellent

The extension is not the most intuitive but support has been excellent! It works better than other PDF indexer extensions I have used and once setup is easier to maintain your documents.

Pretty good extension

I´ve bought the indexer and installed it. Installation is very easy and even the small documentation is ok. I had some troubles with my server, but the developer solved it quickly. 5 stars from me.

Works very well with Docman 2 (with a temp hack)



Posted on 18 June 2014
I purchased this component specifically to work with Docman 2. Upon installation I hit some errors and contacted support. The same day they responded and advised that although the component was not yet compatible off the shelf with Docman 2, they could install some code to get it working, which they did. Component works excellently, and allows me to allow only registered users to search PDF content (which was the requirement for the site I installed this on). The developer was also working directly with the developers of Docman to ensure that the next release included the modifications to the code, so there will be no 'hackery' in the future.



Their support gave me a lot of confidence that I was working with someone that wanted to deliver a good, solid solution that would not break the next time there was an update either to itself or a component it works with. Very pleased.

It works, has great support, and is very powerful



Posted on 18 September 2013
I really couldn't find any other reasonable way to convert the content of a lot of PDF files and get them into my Joomla data base. This component does this and does it well. It is even more powerful than I originally thought. And thank you Tuan for excellent services to find issues my application had.

works as wanted



Posted on 25 July 2013
works as designed and the best is, if you have problems tuan helps out in case of emergency.

works very well



Posted on 26 April 2013
We use the component for searching in 70 PDF files. It works perfectly and is simple to use. Support was very helpful and friendly.

Works well.

Not sure why there are all the bad reviews. This plugin worked well for me. I normally wouldn't have tried it due to all the bad reviews but as it is really the only one out there i thought i would take a chance on it. The documentation could have been better but it does work. I think it is important to mention it can even scan the sub folders beneath the main folder you specify in the config. This again was not in the documentation so i had to raise a ticket to ask. The ticket was replied to promptly by the developer. All in all a good plugin.
