My PDF summaries, and not all of them, have the spacing between words removed
in Verity summaries. I've spent about 6 hours trying to figure this out. My db
custom collection runs just peachy.

What I've looked at:

Summaries are not using Metadata as there is no description in the metadata of
the PDF

PDF does have proper spacing (text can be selected, copied and pasted into
notepad)

Squished string comes from nowhere in particular in the document.

I do not have whitespace compression turned on. There appear to be spaces
between sentances (sentances are not together in the document)

I have the default setting for the style.prm.

I have the alternative working just peachy - that is not using #summary#, but
using my custom2 as the actual summary with the date. However, this doesn't
provide the 4 sentences 500 max summary that contains the search phrase.

Summaries are fine in Google

Code as follows:

<cfcollection action="create"
collection = "PubsSearch"
path = "D:\wwwroot\verity\">

<cfquery name="fileInfo" datasource="dsn">
Select top 20 'D:\wwwroot\pdffiles\' + pdf_location as filename,
'http://www.mysite.com/pubs/display.cfm?pubID=' + convert(varchar,c.pubID) as
custom1,
briefSummary + '<br>' + convert(varchar,datename(month,pubDate)) + ' ' +
convert(varchar,datepart(year,pubDate)) as custom2, fullTitle

table info not important
</cfquery>

<cfindex collection="PubsSearch"
action="refresh"
query="fileInfo"
key="fileName"
title="fullTitle"
type="file"
custom1="custom1"
custom2="custom2"
language="English"
>
<cfsearch collection="PubsSearch,PublicationSearch" name="getPubs"
criteria="#searchText#">

<cfoutput query="getPubs" group="key">
<cfif isnumeric(key)>
<p><a href="http://www.mysite.com/pubs/display.cfm?pubID=#key#">#title#</a><br

//The line below is where the bad summary is coming out.
