Verity vs. Adobe PDF

Hi,

I set up a Verity search on my site to comb files such as PowerPoint, PDF, Word Docs, etc.

Everything works great, except my summaries for PDF files have no spaces. They just come in as one solid string 500 characters long. They appear to break at the end of a sentence, but I can't tell if that's just because there's a period at the end, and of course the string breaks at a hyphen.

I've searched all over Google and can't find anything. Has anybody else had this happen, or have any ideas on how to fix it? It looks so sloppy!

Thanks

Vertiy will index PDFs and the summaries do show up fine, so I'm not sure what the problem is. Are you by chance using some kind of whitespace suppression servlet or program that compresses the returned HTTP stream?

None that I'm aware of. All the summaries for PowerPoint and Word files come out fine.


EDIT: I should also mention that I am using CFMX 6.1.

6.1 should do this fine. Is it all the PDF files? Are they possibly old PDF versions?

It seems to be all the PDFs. I'll check with the guy making them to see what version he's using.

So some PDFs are coming out ok, but not many.

The guy making them is using Word and exporting to Acrobat 5.0.

If anybody would like to take a look:

A search in the documents for "battery" is a good example.
