Does Anthracite support searching text in PDF Files?

Yes! Beginning with Anthracite version 1.4, PDF support is built in, simply specify a PDF URL in your Source Object and Anthracite will use Apple’s PDF Kit to extract any text in the file (as opposed to PDFs that contain scans and pictures). Then use the output of that Source Object to feed a processing chain as you would normally. For an older example based on pdftotext, see “Anthracite Example: Summarizing Legislation”.
