Increase Max File Size That Solr Indexes

[alinasrinazif]

Hello everyone,

I have installed Alfresco Community Edition Vers 5.2 on windows (using exe file). As I noticed in my log file, when I upload a PDF file larger than 10 MB, the Alfresco (Solr) is not extracting its text and therefore the file content can not be searched. The log file says:

Metadata extraction rejected, Extracter: org.alfresco.repo.content.metadata.PdfBoxMetadataExtracter@39882d66 Reason: Max doc size exceeded 10 MB.

I would appreciate it if someone could tell me how can I increase this size. I have already tried some solutions (for example increasing alfresco.contentStreamLimit located in file alfresco-community/solr4/archive-SpaceStore/conf/solrcore and alfresco-community/solr4/workspace-SpaceStore/conf/solrcore)

Thanks a lot in advance.

The limitation is defined in your Alfresco repository which converts the pdf to text. Please check your transformer configuration which is by default defined in alfresco-ce-repository/transformers.properties at 5.2.g-patched · ecm4u/alfresco-ce-repository · Git... (sorry I didn't find a valid tag in the Alfresco git repo for 5.2).

Depending on the transformer which takes the task you should increase the maxSourceSizeKBytes.

e.g.

content.transformer.PdfBox.extensions.pdf.txt.maxSourceSizeKBytes=25600‍

and set debuggin in your log4j properties

log4j.logger.org.alfresco.repo.content.transform.TransformerDebug=DEBUG‍
