Index PDF in Elastic App Search

Elastic Enterprise Search App Search
#1

Hello,

I am using elastic App Search, and I want to index some PDF Documents with data such as title, writer, etc.

Is there any option for index them directly (I know FSCRAWLER for Elastic Search)??

My second option is to codify a Ruby program using gems that can make transform the pdf data in a Json document.

I think to use Apache tika but I do not know if there are better options for doing it.

Thank you for your help.

There's a PR coming to connect to Workplace Search. See

It should not be super hard to implement then a similar thing for AppSearch.

But do you really want AppSearch or Workplace Search ?

Mi idea is index some PDFs and can search one using a label that says about the topic.

For example a library with a science book, If I interest in learn about frogs, I just want to look for documents with those labels.

My idea is a search in this library, trying to look for a document that has a specific label

Thank you very much.

I feel Workplace Search fitting more naturally to this use case.

Yes, I think so, but workplace search needs a month suscriptition for using it so it is why I choose elastic app search.
I see your point and yes, I think Workplace could be more useful in this case.

Some Workplace Search capabilities are included in the Basic / Free license.

Hello,
I am trying to install WorkPlace search and it shows me the next message: Workplace Search requires Platinum features of the Elastic Stack. Starting a trial enables the full product functionality for 30 days. Learn more about Elastic Stack licenses.
So I understand it is not.
I am Installing it In an Ubuntu 20.04, and I have the version 7.8.1

Thank you so much
