Can Confluence search PDF Contents

[KP11]

Can Confluence search PDF Contents. Is there a way to change or customize what confluence searchs? We need to be able to search contents of attached PDF doc? Content option by space does not work

[AndrewA · Accepted solution]

Yes, Confluence will index and search the contents of certain types of attachments (including PDF). For more details, please see...

Searching the content of attachments

Indexing happens every 60 seconds by defualt so it may take a moment for the PDF to be searchable after being added.

The URL gets 404 error loops back to this record

Does the cloud version provide indexing ? 

[Thomas Schlegel]

Hi Anthony,

yes, it should. Do you have any problems with indexing your content?

[Michal Klucz]

Hello Thomas, I can't find the content of the attached word document. I can find the word from the file name, so the file is visible, but the content is not.

that did not answer my specific question, just a canned response isn't good enough

Broken Erro Link. Can you help me out with this topic?

I need to search the PDF content placed in Confluence Repository Page

Please fix link as that exploring searching in PDFs is my next item to research!

Hi Mark, different Andrew Campbell here. I'll do a bit more research and find some more detailed documentation, but for now https://confluence.atlassian.com/doc/search-139528.html seems to be the correct link. Is there anything in particular you'd like to know about?
