   * **Maximum characters to index per file:** The number of characters to index in PDF and plain-text attachments (default: 500,000, approximately 100,000 words or 180–200 pages of content). Set this value to 0 to disable full-text indexing.
-==== PDF Indexing ====
-Zotero uses two open-source plugins, ''pdftotext'' and ''pdfinfo'', to index the contents of PDF files. These tools are installed with Zotero. If for some reason they are not installed, click the "Install PDF Tools" button to install them. If installation fails, follow these [[:pdf_fulltext_indexing|manual installation instructions]]. If the tools are already installed, click "Check for Update".
-You can also set how pages of a PDF file Zotero will index (default: 100 pages).
