Summary of the issue you are facing:
I have set up a WorkFlow for my PDF files when they are uploaded into the Nextcloud environment or updated to ensure that there is an OCR scan of the files and therefore make the text searchable directly in Nextcloud via the search functionality. Unfortunately, however, if I do not execute the command
Citazione
occ fulltextsearch:index
Citazione
from cmd the file is not scanned and therefore its content is not searchable in Nextcloud
Steps to replicate it (hint: details matter!):
- Settings > Flow > add new OCR flow
- Configure parameters for .pdf files and then file MIME type is .pdf
- File language set: Italian and English
- OCR mode: skip text
Log entries
There are no logs for this failed flow
