PDF

{ProductName} has several options that can be used to adjust how PDF documents are indexed. The options are:

WORDORDER

READING - Displays the words in reading order. Set by default.
DOCUMENT - Display words in the order in which they are physically stored in the document. May not be the order in which the words would be read by a person.

LINEMODE

V9 - New line ending & paragraph detection code, produces neater draft mode rendition and detects paragraph breaks more often. Set by default.
V8 - Legacy support for previous versions.

DEHYPHENATE

TRUE or FALSE

Controls word dehyphenation. When enabled, removes any "-" characters between words that span lines. Allows hyphenated words separated by a line break to be searchable, disabled by default.

EXPANDLIGATURES

TRUE or FALSE

Controls ligature expansion to their multiple-character equivalents, enabled by default.

ANNOTATIONS

TRUE or FALSE

Indicates whether PDF annotations should be indexed, enabled by default.

BOOKMARKS

TRUE or FALSE

Indicates whether PDF bookmarks (outlines) should be indexed, enabled by default.

XAPMETADATA

TRUE or FALSE

Indicates whether custom XAP metadata should be indexed, disabled by default.

Setting PDF Options

To enable or disable PDF options, you must manually edit the index's ISYS.CFG file. Open the file in a text editor and add the following line (adjusting flags as required) to the "options" section:

SET PDF "WORDORDER=DOCUMENT;LINEMODE=V9;DEHYPHENATE=TRUE"

A reindex is required if adding, changing or removing any of these options from an ISYS.CFG.
