Using your own .PDF files

[gorkam23]

I'm pretty sure my issue lies within the indexer, but I have not been able to reindex my files after placing them in the storage account container.

I know the project doesn't support all formats, but I'd like to just see a few files indexed. Any help is appreciated.

Did you reset the indexer and then run it again? The indexer in the project is not set to run on a schedule so requires a manual rerun in order for new files to be indexed.

I absolutely did do that multiple times. But, do the files need to be in the file folder that is loaded into the storage container or can I put them directly in the storage container and then reindex?

Should be fine just in the storage container.

I am currently getting this error during the final indexing. I have been using .PDF files. Would they cause this error?

Thank you!

Depends on the PDF files. I would need to see what the more specific error is, ideally. You should be able to check the errors in the Azure portal using this guide: https://learn.microsoft.com/en-us/azure/search/search-howto-monitor-indexers

I will go through the guide on troubleshooting the indexer. Thank you!
