You will need to replace the file by hand:

Make sure you haven't got the GLI open with this collection.
Go to the import directory of your collection (in
gsdl/collect/collname/import)
Look for paper.pdf, and replace it with paper.doc.
Open up the metadata.xml file that is in the same directory as
paper.pdf, and look for the entry like:

<FileSet>
<FileName>paper.pdf</FileName>
<Description>
<Metadata name="dc.Title">the title</Metadata>
.....
</Description>
</FileSet>

Just change the Filename to be paper.doc. Now the metadata will be
assigned to your new file.

If you open this collection in the GLI now, you should see paper.doc
there with all the metadata you had assigned to paper.pdf.
You will need to rebuild the collection now to have the new document
indexed and classified.

Katherine Don
