Re: [dcphp-dev] counting words in .docx and pdf files

I've used that Joomla plugin John mentioned and it has a counterpart for DOCs: http://extensions.joomla.org/extensions/search-a-indexing/site-search/2095

Both work fairly well and you should be able to steal functions from them.

As an aside, I've hacked at them to get them to recognize other file formats as well—just for the purpose of search indexing. If you were trying to parse it into a formatted article, that would be a different story. I don't know how it would play into your need for counting words though.

A .docx is just a zipped up set of XML documents, so if you unzip it and look at `word/document.xml` you might be able to parse out what you need.

For the PDFs, you might look into using XPDF (http://www.foolabs.com/xpdf/). You'd have to compile xpdf for the environment it will be running on, but then you could just use system() or any similar function to read the PDF. At that point you can use the code below. For a similar example of how to do this, take a look at the "PDF Indexer" extension for Joomla!.

I'm not really sure about docx; I've never had to work with that format. Hopefully this helps get you halfway there, though.
