Hello, I am getting requests to place our PDF slides (output from beamer) into Microsoft Powerpoint formats (.ppt). What's the best practice or any recommended software packages (any success with open or commercial) that we can use to convert PDF slides into an EDITABLE powerpoint deck? Thanks in advance.

Hello, We have problems with saving large ppt-files (>20MB) from a NTClient Sp5 to the Samba server (2.0.4b on Solaris 7).

Has anyone ever seen a problem where any graphics on a ppt background (master) show up as one big red 'x'? I can easily reproduce this if this has never been reported before.

Hi, >From looking at Ruby sources it seems that every update method deletes and reinserts documents. It makes sense if indexed fields are changed but what if it is not the case? It would speed up update a lot indexes did not have to be updated twice for nothing. Any quick way to do it? -- Sergei Serdyuk Red Leaf Software LLC web: http://redleafsoft.com -- Posted via

Hi, I've had a heads up from a user that catppt did not work at all on semi-recent PowerPoint files (ppt, not pptx). I checked, and indeed it misses most of the content on many files. After looking around, I found Python code from the libreoffice project which makes a nice ppt text extractor after adding a very thin command line wrapper:

Hi List, I''ve took some time and made some tests on the performance of java-lucene, hyperestraier and ferret as Dave encourages the community of ferret to do so. Quite intersting numbers. Ferret indeed deserves to be called a high-performance port!! It''s MyFirstBenchmark ( http://ferret.davebalmain.com/trac/wiki/MyFirstBenchmark ) so please don''t be too cruel on

Hi there, What''s the current status of the Windows port? I may be in a position to lend a hand over the next couple of weeks - where should I start looking? And what''s the best way to get SVN HEAD?

Hi all, Having problems trying to get Ferret to read an index generated by Lucene. Am I right in thinking Ferret should be able to read a Lucene generated index no problem? Using the code snippets detailed in http://www.ruby-forum.com/topic/64099#new Any advice gratefully received. Many Thanks, Steven -- Posted via http://www.ruby-forum.com/.

Here''s an interesting problem: In my app, we are indexing various types of documents, including microsoft powerpoint. Powerpoint documents are mostly binary, but have a bunch of text (all of the text in the document?) as well. My thinking is that the binary will never get searched for, and the proper text will be indexed and queried as expected, so the indexed binary will never

Hey guys, Now that the Lucy[1] project has Apache approval and is about to begin, the onus is no longer on Ferret to strive for Lucene compatability. (We''ll be doing that in Lucy). So I''m starting to think about ways to improve Ferret''s API. The first part that needs to be improved is the Document API. It''s annoying having to type all the attributes to

Hi all, I'm having a recurrent problem with Omega's indexing. When I run omindex, it sometimes misses to recognize the extension of some files (.doc, .pdf) and skips them. In the same run, omindex is otherwise perfectly able to index other files with same extensions. The reason is not clear but it should occur before it selects a content converter since for example, if I manually run

Hi, I''m currently trying to set up a solution involving multiple servers using the same index over nfs. The problem is that from what I have seen, ferret doesn''t support multiple processes writing to the same index. Using a DRb service is not an option since this would create a single point of failure. I tried using Ferret::Store::FSDirectory to create a write lock on the the

Hey, Luke doesn''t seem to be able to open a Ferret index I''ve created. Is this expected? If yes, can someone recommend another index inspection tool? Thanks, John

I''m getting some results that I don''t understand from a search. The code, based on the tutorial, and the results are below.

Hi All, Hope all is going well. Was just wondering if anyone has implemented a grep style output page of hits using Ferret as the index/query engine? Any thoughts about how best to implement it?
