SearchEngine PDF Indexer add-on
-------------------------------

[](#searchengine-pdf-indexer-add-on)

This module adds (experimental) PDF indexing support for the SearchEngine module.

Please note that in order to parse PDF files, we need to install some third party dependencies. Currently two PDF parsing libraries are supported: smalot/pdfparser and spatie/pdf-to-text. These are automatically installed along with this module when you install it via Composer, but if you install the module via file upload or using the modules manager in admin, please run `composer install` in the directory of the module after installing it.

Note also that spatie/pdf-to-text requires the pdftotext CLI tool, which needs to be installed on your OS. Please check out the spatie/pdf-to-text GitHub repository at  for more details.
