Hello,  
I've tried to inject pdf file to elastic.

```auto
PUT _ingest/pipeline/pdfnew
{
  "description": "Extract attachment information encoded in Base64 with UTF-8 charset",
  "processors": [
    {
      "attachment": {
        "field": "file"
      }
    },
    {
      "remove": {
        "field": ["file"]
      }
    }
  ]
}

```

first i made manually in kibana ingest,  
and then on my route I'm trying something like this:

```auto
 let buffer = fs.readFileSync('../../../Desktop/sample.pdf', {
    encoding: 'base64',
  });

const index = client.index({
    id: 101,
    index: 'pdf-test9',
    pipeline: 'pdfnew',
    body: {
      file: buffer,
    },
  });

```

when a request is made I get content like this in Kibana with this weird """ on start and end.  
Can you help me with this

when I get then in Kibana  
GET pdf-test9/\_search

The triple quotes are normal for storing large unstructured text. This is so you don't have to escape special characters, maintains line breaks, etc. The attachment ingest processor is most likely doing this for you.

```auto
POST test/_doc/
{
  "message": """

Thank you Aaron on response,  
So that means that all my content is searchable now, like this:

```auto

GET pdf-test9/_search
{
  "query": {
    "match_phrase": {
      "attachment.content": {
        "query": "and more text."
      }
    }
  }
}

```

Yes, as long as your data mapping for `attachment.content` is type `text` which I think it should be.

Use `GET pdf-test9/_mapping` to verify.
