I think I've made some progress with this, but I'm now having trouble with pdf files. The approach that seems to partly solve the problem is to have a ConvertRecord processor with a scripted reader to place the on disk (as delivered by the GetFile processor) into a record field. I can then use an UpdateRecord to add other fields. My current problem, I think, is correctly dealing with dumping a binary object (e.g. a pdf file) into that field. Going via strings worked for html files but breaks pdfs. I'm struggling with how to correctly set up the schema from within the script.
