Working great for SharePoint 2010, Windows 7 64 bit, Adobe Reader 9, Adobe Acrobat 9 and i.e. 9 64 bit beta.

Just change 12 to 14 in the path and use “net stop osearch14″ instead of osearch in both start and stop.

Great work, this is the only tip worked for me after many trials and other tips on the Web.

Tina, the iFilter is supposed to be language-agnostic. Here’s what Adobe has to say about that:

“Adobe PDF IFilter has no user interface and therefore is language-agnostic. It is tested and supported in Tier 1 languages (English, French, German, and Japanese), utilizing operating systems in the above languages and text within Adobe PDF files in the above languages.”

The latest iFilter is available here: http://www.adobe.com/support/downloads/detail.jsp?ftpID=2611.

Will the PDF ifilter crawl PDF documents created in French or Dutch too, or it just crawls English PDF documents?

We installed iFilter, posted PDF files, and the search is fine. But when we tried to search the PDF file that was posted before iFilter was installed, we can’t get any results. We did a “full crawl” after iFilter was installed, still no results. If I change the properties of PDF files that were posted earlier then I can get the search results. Since we had tons of PDF files posted before iFilter was installed, we can’t change every file property to make search work.

If anyone had similar problems and have a solution for this, please share your knowledge, I really appreciate your help.

Thanks.

Greetings to all,

We have a 64-bit server with iFilter9 PDF installed. It tracks PDF files fine unless they are digitally signed. We have a 32-bit server with iFilter6 PDF installed that tracks both signed and unsigned documents.

Has anyone had this problem and was able to resolve it? I would appreciate any comments.
