Electronic Text Extraction List

The Electronic Text Extraction list provides a list of all file types from which the Laserfiche Full-Text Indexer can currently extract text by default. If a file type is listed, an IFilter for that type is already installed and can be used to extract text from and index those files.

If a file type is not listed, you may required an IFilter for that file type to extract text from it. Information about IFilters is available in Knowledge Base article 1011194 INFO: Retrieving Text from Electronic Files with IFilters. Note that you will need to install the correct IFilters on the computer on which the Laserfiche Full-Text Indexing and Search Service is installed.

Note: Electronic text extraction has no effect on imaged documents.
