[Zope-PTK] Searching through the contents of Pdf/Word/latex

[Praveen Katiyar]

Hi all,

I am a zope newbie and currently am using the Portal ToolKit and the
external file to build a website. I am facing problem in searching the
contents of the external file that i upload [ msword/pdf/latex/... ]. 

The Zcatalog search does not seem to search and index the contents of
pdf/doc/latex files. 

I have looked into HowTo's and the documentation. But being a zope newbie I
am finding it difficult to find a way out. I guess that somewhere while
making the catalog one has to use converters(pdftotext....and its like) and
probably then use that to index those documents.

Has anyone done this before.
