Hi, I've been trying to index some custom metadata fields using Solr... I've manage to do so, but the so-call solution only came with more issues...

1)Since I manage to index the pdf using the HTTP Post CURL in PHP, coldfusion won't read the indexed files, even thou Solr does... is there a way to use a standalone version of Solr and integrate with Coldfusion?

2)Using the Solr server CF already has, is there a way to index the pdf files the same way I did it using php and still be able to call them from coldfusion?

3)Can someone point me to some advance techniques or tutorial refering the use of Solr-Coldfusion... on how to custom index files, querys and results...

I'll appreciate all the help I can get...

    1) Not sure what you mean by 1.

    2) Solr already supports indexing PDF files.

    Indeed, but for some reason when you a custom metadata to the PDF, Solr won't index that data, I already created the field in the schema.xml, the only way to do it so is by using the curl script, this allows you to add a custom field to the soon-to-be-index pdf, but by doing so Coldfusion won't read that index...

    Ahhh - custom PDF stuff.

    So - I'd do it manually. You can read custom PDF metadata using my

    pdfUtils CFC from RIAForge. Use that along with the cfpdf tag to get

    what you want from the PDFs and build your collection by hand.
