Description

When Automatic indexing of file content is active, trying to upload pdf files fails.

The pdf file is still uploaded but the end user is told that upload failed.

Try uploading pdfs in http://nycdwight-11908-6600.show.tikiwiki.org/tiki-upload_file.php?galleryId=4 ! (beware of the 8MB size limit) (verify that Automatic indexing of file content is still active)

They display an error « File upload failed: SyntaxError: JSON.parse: unexpected character at line 1 column 1 of the JSON data ».
Only for pdfs.

This is an example return answer to /tiki-ajax_services.php?controller=file&action=upload_multiple :

<feff>{"files":

The issue seems to be one or more invisible BOM (zero-length nonbreaking spaces) character before the json string.

My guess is, this regression is related to our changing the way pdfs are indexed. Since Tiki18, we use a php library bundled with Tiki. Before, we relied on a command line executable. Sadly, reverting to the old way of putting the following in tiki-admin.php?page=fgal#contentfgal_admin-5 does not work:

application/pdf: pdftotext -enc UTF-8 %1 -
