Bug Description

IMHO it's not an OpenERP problem, but a pdf2txt issue.
nevertheless OpenERP will be blamed if the content is not correctly indexed.
may be the page should say "experimental" somewhere

I always tell people that all content indexers *try* to extract the text of
the files. It doesn't mean that they will always produce the same result as a
human eye would read at the same files...

I'm afraid there is little we can do there.
However, if you see at the code, it is modular enough so that anybody that can
provide better tools (say, a replacement for pdf2txt) can plug them in and
improve the indexing.

I suggest to just change the wording on the tab "indexed content" to "indexed content - experimental"

so it is clear to everyone that the content behaves as described by xrg
