Issue #587 resolved
supporthq created an issue

Hi,

Can I disable pdftotext? It consuming alot of CPU and I dont have a need to search inside PDF's. Most of the PDF files are merly scanned documents.

Thanks and let me know if this is a bad idea.

    thanks for the awesomely quick reply....any suggestion on how to disable? Cant seem to find a reference on how to do that

    Currently you can't disable it. If the configure script can find it, then it's enabled. So remove or rename the pdftotext utility (poppler package), then recompile piler.

    If you can skip indexing attachments at all, then set the following in piler.conf:

    extract_attachments=0

    Hi,

    Have added 'extract_attachments=0' to '/usr/local/etc/piler.conf', but I am still seeing pdftotext running after a reboot, am I missing something here?

    Output of piler -v below, maybe my vewrsion is too old?

    Yes, your version is too old, look at the build date, almost 2 years old, and doesn't support this keyword.
