PDF Text Extraction not automatically occurring on upload

[akshay ts]

Hello everyone,

I’m encountering an issue with the PDF text extraction in Access to Memory. When I upload a PDF, the system doesn’t automatically extract the text as I expected. As a result, when I search for a word that’s present in the PDF, the search doesn’t return the item containing the PDF with that word.

However, if I re-index the PDF using the command " php symfony digitalobject:extract-text " and re-index the search, the search returns the items containing the PDF with that word.

Has anyone else experienced this? Is there a setting or configuration that I'm possibly missing to ensure the text extraction happens automatically upon upload? Or could there be a process that's not running properly in the background?

Can anyone please provide some insights or guidance on this?

Thanks in advance.
