Description

ExtDocument allows you to have objects in Zope which have searchable content via ZCatalogs. In other words, they provide the PrinicipiaSearchSource method and will reindex themselves upon uploading of new content. These objects are also stored external to the ZODB for performance and storage reasons. It is a subclass of ExtFile and so therefore requires ExtFile/ExtImage to be installed.

Currently it only provides searchable PDF's by usage of XPDF (which also must be installed for PDF searching), but it supports more formats. It is very hackable and please add any code that you want to make it do other conversions or provide more searchable content. Email me any of this, and I'll add it to the base. Cheers :)

Installing:

Put the ExtDocument folder in the Products folder.

Notes:

1. you must have ExtFile/ExtImage 1.1 or higher installed.
2. this product contains a hotfix for ExtFile 1.1.0beta3.

If you can read this text, it means you are not experiencing the Plone design at its best. Plone makes heavy use of CSS, which means it is accessible to any internet browser, but the design needs a standards-compliant browser to look like we intended it. Just so you know ;)
