Disable PDF Tika/Lucene Indexing in AEM6

Hi,

We are working on disabling PDF indexing with tika/lucene and cannot find a guide for AEM 6.0. Anyone able to explain how to do this?

Basically just need to be able to edit and get the instance to use a custom tika-config.xml

 

Thanks!

Alex

Need to extract the tika-config.xml from the bundle .jar file, edit it, and merge the changed config file back in. They have an example config file on that page as well.

Hi Alex,

I saw your reply, I was just wondering if this is a supported configuration for AEM6, best to check with daycare. As it may cause issues if you deploy this in production and daycare say it is not a supported configuration.

Hi Alex,

did you get this to work? The reason I ask is that the article is written for AEM5.x/CRX2, so not sure it would still apply to AEM6. Might be worth raising a daycare ticket to find out if this is still supported.

Regards,

Opkar

Rather than doing that, you could potentially utilize the path field of the workflow launcher to prevent it from running.  Maybe try something like this:

/content/dam/(/.*/)renditions/original(?!\\.pdf)\\.+

I haven't verified that this would work, but it certainly would make more sense than extracting a jar, editing a config file etc etc.
