Limitations

These are current known limitations that may be of interest for considering docspell at the moment. Hopefully they will be resolved eventually….

• Only PDF files possible for now.
• No fulltext search implemented. This currently has very low priority, because I myself never needed it. Open an issue if you find it important.
