DB2 Net Search Extender supports the third-party document filtering software. Known as Outside In from Stellent, you can use the software for extracting the textual contents from PDF files, or from documents written in the proprietary format of common text formatting tools without using native applications. Example formats include Microsoft Word and Lotus Word Pro.
You load the Outside In libraries as plug-ins during UPDATE INDEX. The libraries are not part of Net Search Extender and need to be installed separately. You need to ensure that Net Search Extender can find the Outside In libraries. For information on setting up and using the libraries, see Installing the Outside In libraries.
The Outside In software can not only generate textual content but also structural information, for example, fields. Net Search Extender can also customize which part of the Outside In generated document information is to be stored in the index. To do this, you need to apply a specific type of document model, the Outside In document model.
For information, see Defining a document model for Outside In filtered documents.
