Thanks Alexandre, I figured it out with this example,
https://wiki.apache.org/solr/ExtractingRequestHandler whereby you can add additional fields at upload/extract time curl " http://localhost:8983/solr/update/extract?literal.id=doc4&captureAttr=true&defaultField=text&capture=div&fmap.div=foo_txt&boost.foo_txt=3&literal.blah_s=Bah"; -F "tutorial=@"help.pdf and therefore I learned that you can't update a field that isn't in the original which is what I was trying to do before.
