FYI: Some pdf files fails to index 100% due to invliad utf8 generated by pdftotext on fedora core 6 (FC6)

FYI:

 

I had problems finde some pdf files with beagle-query.

I think the problem is pdftotext some times returns invalid utf8 data - probably in some documents with danish letter æøåÆØÅ

 

wrapping pdftotext  to below seems to work:

 

    /usr/bin/pdftotext -q -nopgbrk -enc Latin1 "$FILE" - | iconv -t UTF-8 -f iso8859-1

 

/knr
