Wiki using PDF documents

    Hi Dennis

    I’m planning a wiki in which most of the information is contained within attached files. The pages themselves are mainly to help the users navigate and find the files they need – or related files. The files are mostly PDFs. But also some image files, and maybe also curated links to external websites.

    I have a few technical questions:

    Would your system search the content of the PDFs? I saw media was mentioned in the description but that might not include PDFs.

    Would it be possible to apply tags or categories to the those files?

    Are there any user examples you can think of where they use files in the way I’m describing.

    Danke schön

    No, you would need a tool to export the text content of the PDF to your database.

    Would it be possible to apply tags or categories to the those files?

    No, but there are other plugins available to tag media attachments.

    No.
