PDF indexer messages

The PDF indexer creates a message list at the end of each indexing run.

A return code of 0 (zero) means that processing completed without any errors.
The PDF indexer detects a number of error conditions that can be logically grouped into several categories:
Informational
When the PDF indexer processes a file, it issues informational messages that allow the user to determine if the correct processing parameters have been specified. These messages can assist in providing an audit trail.
Warning
The PDF indexer issues a warning message and a return code of 4 (four) when the fidelity of the document might be in question.
Error

The PDF indexer issues an error message and return code of 1 (one) and terminates processing the current input file. Most error conditions detected by the PDF indexer fall into this category. The exact method of termination can vary. For certain severe errors, the PDF indexer might fail with a segment fault. This is generally the case when some system service fails. In other cases, the PDF indexer terminates with the appropriate error messages written either to standard error or to a file. When the PDF indexer is invoked by the ARSLOAD program, error messages are automatically written to the system log. If you run the ARSPDOCI command, you can specify the name or the full path name of the file to hold the processing messages by using the MSGDD parameter.

On IBM® i platforms, the ADDRPTOND and STRMONOND commands also write error messages to the system log. The messages are also written to the log of any job running the ARSLOAD, ADDRPTOND, or STRMONOND commands.

Remember: The ARSPDOCI command is not supported on z/OS or Linux for System z platforms..
Adobe Toolkit

If the Adobe libraries fail to initialize, the PDF indexer issues an error message with a PDF library return code of 16 and stops processing the current input file.

Internal Error
The PDF indexer issues an error message and return code of 1 (one) and terminates processing the current input file.
See IBM Content Manager OnDemand: Messages and Codes for a list of the messages that can be generated by the PDF indexer and the explanations of the messages and actions that you can take to respond to the messages. The messages that are generated by the PDF indexer are listed in the Common Server section of the messages publication.
