Hi Randy,

iF You have root access to your server, You could try Apache Tomcat with Apache SOLR and You will obtain the same effect for PDF, Word, and some other formats – should take a little time to check which formats are supported.

Kind Regards,
Nick

xpdf is working well with my php but antiword is not executing if antiword folder is not installed on c:/antiword/bin directory.

I dont want to execute from the c:/ drive i would like to run it from php from my htdocs directory but its not working.

How can I do this can anyone help???

Example:::

CODE FOR XPDF( Working ):
$page_content = shell_exec('C:/xampp/htdocs/search-includes/xpdfbin-win-3.03/bin32/pdftotext '.$filename.' -');

CODE FOR ANTIWORD: ( This is not working )
$page_content = shell_exec("C:/xampp/htdocs/search-includes/antiword/bin/antiword ".$filename);

CODE FOR ANTIWORD:( Working )
$page_content = shell_exec("C:/antiword/bin/antiword ".$filename);

I visited this page 2 days ago trying to develop a search engine for PDFs and had no clue what this meant. Now it makes sense to me and I’m going to use this. Thanks!
