Hi,  
We are planning to use elasticsearch to save PDF documents from an angular 5 application to be retrieved later. While I do see a lot of code samples which describes how to save json documents from various plat forms, I am yet to see a sample which explains how to save actual documents from a web application, can somebody help in this regard.

Also I am using elasticsearch locally by spinning it on docker, I would like to know best approach for running and saving docs on a web (windows) server.

I am very new to any sort of document data, apologies for any naive questions above

regards

Have a look at FSCrawler project. It exposes a REST API where you can upload your binary documents.
