I<BR /> then tried to build an index with readable pdf files and text files, but have not been sucessful. Must be doing something<BR /> wrong because the pdf is not being inputed properly. Below is part of an example of what I get from Splunk when I use the pdf for<BR /> source input. </P> <P>I also have not figured out yet how to delete/remove an index and then create a new one.</P> <P>3:42:04.000 PM \xFDq6\xE9\xF\xFW\xCC`&#127;\xEF\xFA\x98\x8Cnj\x11\x1F\x8D\x2\xCF\xDD\xB\x8CQ\x1A\x8\x8ER\xE8G\x99\xDC\x17<BR /> ".sourcetype=Radiology PDF Options| source=C:\Cognition Result Files\Radiographics PDFs\234_1_109.pdf </P> Mon, 28 Sep 2020 12:28:38 GMT https://community.splunk.com/t5/Getting-Data-In/pdf-files-source-input/m-p/65183#M13094 vcorace 2020-09-28T12:28:38Z https://community.splunk.com/t5/Getting-Data-In/pdf-files-source-input/m-p/65184#M13095 <P>Splunk won't index PDF only ascii data ie txt.
