Adobe is working on getting a 64 bit version of IFilter out. We don't have any ETA at this point though.

Would there be info avaiable on how to develop 64 bit versions? I'd like to adjust our (3rd party) DWG IFilter when possible.

Deb Haldar — Thu, 29 Mar 2007 22:15:06 GMT

The procedure is exactly the same if you're using Visual Studio. However, your document parsing libraries might have different requirements for 32 and 64 bit. For example, if using the interop to call unmanaged code, the layout(offset) of propspec structures might need to be modified.In the end, the requirements vary for different implementations.

Ideas?

What's "WDS 3.0" ?

and more importantly will this method also work with WSS 3.0 or only with MOSS 2007 ?

re: Indexing pdf documents with Adobe Reader v.8 and MOSS 2007

Dave, the key should exist. I tried it on the following config on a couple of machines.

However, I'll double check and update the article if necessary.

Deb Haldar — Sat, 31 Mar 2007 21:49:29 GMT

Mike, WDS refers to Windows Desktop Search.

I haven't personally tried it on WSS but the same strategy should work. After installing WSS , just replace the old CLSID of pdf ifilter with the new one.Then try to index the pdf files. Also, it's very likely that you'd need to add adobe installation directory to system path.

Any contact at Adobe to get on a mailing list or something for the availability of the 64-bit iFilter? We talked to 6 folks at Adobe today all of whom had (a)never heard of iFilters and (b) never heard of MOSS including their management. The perils of being a semi-early adopter of a new technology, I suppose. Thanks in advance for any guidance.

Hi, have installed Adobe Acrobat 8 on the Server and the following tasks 2..5, but the pdf icon is not visible and the pdf content is still not searchable. Do I have to start a full crawl before I can search for? Or do I have a chance to check the installation?

Thanks in advance,

re: Indexing pdf documents with Adobe Reader v.8 and MOSS 2007

I have followed the instructions above and then crawled our Corporate Intranet hr page (not migrated to MOSS 2007 yet). The results of all the PDF docs fail as follows:

The filtering process could not load the item. This is possibly caused by an unrecognized item format or item corruption.

I have checked the PATH, the reg entries etc. I have even rebooted the server. Deleted teh index and recrawled etc. Thoughts on how to troubleshoot?

I have a single MOSS server but the DB is on another box (SQL 2000 for now).

Thanks.

re: Indexing pdf documents with Adobe Reader v.8 and MOSS 2007

Deb Haldar — Sat, 09 Jun 2007 20:22:21 GMT

Michael,

From the failure message it seems like the search process could not pick up the filter.

Usually in cases like this,the easiest thing to do is use ifilttst/filtdump and try to filter a PDF file from command line.

If that does not work, try the following:

->Recycle the search service

->Launch regmon and set a filter on *pdf*

->Launch filemon and set a filter on *pdf*

-> Start the crawl and try to see which registry keys/Files are being accessed. This should give you a clear idea of the COM registry calls made as well as if dependent DLLs are failing to load with V.8 reader.

regards,

Deb.

re: Indexing pdf documents with Adobe Reader v.8 and MOSS 2007

Deb Haldar — Sat, 09 Jun 2007 20:25:13 GMT

Also, folks, we recently ran some perf tests on the FOXIT pdf ifilter vs the adobe pdf filter and the former provided much better results. So my recommendation at this point is to switch to FOXIT ifilter instead of using the complex workarounds with adobe ifilter.

re: Indexing pdf documents with Adobe Reader v.8 and MOSS 2007

Michael — Mon, 11 Jun 2007 22:07:26 GMT

Deb -

Thanks for the tip. For some reason, using the ifilter explorer from Foxit's site, I saw for some reason, my adobe 8.0 wasn't registering properly. At your suggestion, I tried Foxit's pdf filter, made the registry change and voila my filter worked.

Thanks a bunch!

i have added the file type on SP and installed the IFilter 6.0 from adobe, on both server but it is not working.

any idea

thanks.

re: Indexing pdf documents with Adobe Reader v.8 and MOSS 2007

Deb Haldar — Fri, 22 Jun 2007 20:58:25 GMT

If your MOSS 2007 is 64 bit, you cannot use the adobe filter as it is a 32 bit binary and our 64 bit filtering process cannot load a 32 bit binary.

In that case, please use the 64 bit FOXIT ifilter. (See blog post on FOXIT).

Thanks,

Deb.

As much as MOSS is being deployed all over the world right now, I am suprised at how little information is available on this subject.

There needs to be an official Knowledge Base article from Microsoft that documents EXACT steps on getting the ifliter installed.

I am still not clear what it the best route to go with 32 bit MOSS deployment ifilter6.0, or Reader 8?

Tried using the PDF iFilter (ala V8.1) through a simple test program and the "text" portion of the PDF document is not returned, although attributes are. We are using the GetChunk method of the iFilter interace. This works fine with iFilter 6.0 (but is problematic as we all know). perating on XP Prof (withour WDS).

Any ideas?

re: Indexing pdf documents with Adobe Reader v.8 and MOSS 2007

Marco van Schagen — Wed, 07 Nov 2007 19:22:24 GMT

John,

You need to use the GetText also. In general this will contain the bulk of the text. You may need to create a loop to create a series of GetText calls to receive all of the contents.

I am talking general IFilter specs as I have built the DWG IFilter, not PDF.

Good luck.

When we tried the Foxit iFilter, it was able to search on Title & Author, but not on Subject & Keyword. When we contacted Foxit Support, they informed us that they supported only Title & Author in the current release, and that Subject & Keyword would be supported only in the next release, due in the first half of 2008. Does the Adobe iFilter support metadata search? Any pointers would be useful.

I was having the same problems usinf the Acrobat 8.1 supplied Ifilter on one of our 2 farms.

I got the first one working and upgraded to SP1 afterwards.

The second one was a vanilla install of MOS 2007 SP1 and I tried to install the acrobat 8.1 reader supplied IFilter.

It dit not work. I tried running the IFilter

on the commandline ifilttst.exe and that worked OK. The filter on a PDF file left an output log file with keywords.

In the crawl log I found entries on the pdf files finding them but failing to start the PDF Ifilter

I was about to give up and move back to the 6.0 IFilter, but I did some final checks in the registry.

For some reasons there seems to exist a registry entry for the 6.0 Adobe IFilter GUID

in SP1.

HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SOFTWARE\Microsoft\Shared Tools\Web Server Extensions\12.0\Search\Setup\Filters\.pdf

It listed a default of {4C904448-74A9-11D0-AF6E-00C04FD8DC02}, which is a 6.0 IFilter value.

I changed that into {E8978DA6-047F-4E3D-9C78-CDBE46041603} and resterted the search service and did a full crawl. Then it started working

After googling on the 6.0 guid I found a MS KB article describing the same symptoms for the Foxit Ifilter, but it also applies to the Acrobat 8.1 filter

http://support.microsoft.com/kb/944447

I would recommend to check the citeknet Ifilter explorer at http://www.citeknet.com/Products/IFilters/IFilterExplorer/tabid/62/Default.aspx

Will Adobe Reader 9.0 also work in this fashion?

re: Indexing pdf documents with Adobe Reader v.8 and MOSS 2007

Mike Ruhl — Fri, 19 Dec 2008 21:05:34 GMT

Adobe PDF iFilter 9 for instructions x32 or 64-bit platforms

Download x64 http://www.adobe.com/support/downloads/detail.jsp?ftpID=4025

1. Install Adobe PDF iFilter 9 for 64-bit platforms.

2. Verify that PDF has been added to the registry.

a. Run Regedit by browsing to c:\Windows\system32\regedt32.exe and double-clicking it.

b. Within left-side tree, browse to: \\HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SOFTWARE\Microsoft\Office Server\12.0\Search\Applications\{site GUID}\Gather\Portal_Content\Extensions\ExtensionList

c. If PDF extension is present, skip to Step 3 . If PDF extension is not present, continue with Step d.

d. Right click on right-side Extension List pane and choose New > String Value

e. Add a name to the new Registry Key (e.g. “38”)

f. Double click the new Registry Key. For “Value data”, enter “pdf”

Note: This can also be achieved via SharePoint Server Search Administration page by adding ‘pdf’ to list of File Types in Search Administration->File Types. This would automatically add an entry for ‘pdf’ filetype as mentioned above in step 1

3. Verify that PDF has the correct settings in a second registry location.

a. While still in Regedit, within the left-side tree, browse to: \\HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SOFTWARE\Microsoft\Office Server\12.0\Search\Setup\Filters\.pdf

b. Verify the following values. If values are not as shown, edit them.

i. <REG_SZ> Default = <value not set>

ii. <REG_SZ> Extension = pdf

iii. <REG_DWORD> FileTypeBucket = 1

iv. <REG_SZ> MimeTypes = application/pdf

4. Verify that PDF has the correct settings in a third registry location.

a. While still in RegEdit, within the left-side tree, browse to: \\HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SOFTWARE\Microsoft\Office Server\12.0\Search\Setup\ContentIndexCommon\Filters\Extension\.pdf

b. Verify the following values. If values are not as shown, edit them.

i. <REG_MULTI_SZ> Default = {E8978DA6-047F-4E3D-9C78-CDBE46041603}

Adobe forgot this too:

HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SOFTWARE\Microsoft\Shared Tools\Web Server

Extensions\12.0\Search\Setup\ContentIndexCommon\Filters\Extension\.pdf

Default --> {E8978DA6-047F-4E3D-9C78-CDBE46041603} only have to change the sid

5. Verify that pdf.gif is present at the following location:

C:\Program Files\Common Files\Microsoft Shared\web server extensions\12\TEMPLATE\IMAGES

**my installation never installed the pdf.gif icon, I used mine from ifilter 6 installation

6. Add an entry in docicon.xml for the pdf icon:

C:\Program Files\Common Files\Microsoft Shared\Web Server Extensions\12\TEMPLATE\XML

<Mapping Key="pdf" Value=".gif"/> -adobe forgot to add the “/” took me two days to figure it out!!

Note: Step 4 & 5 are done in order to have the pdf icon in SharePoint while it displays the search results.

7. Restart all SharePoint services as well as IIS.

a. Launch the DOS Shell (Start > All Programs > Accessories > Command Prompt).

b. Type the following at the prompt: “net stop osearch”. Wait for success message.

c. Type the following at the prompt: “net start osearch”. Wait for success message.

d. Type the following at the prompt: “iisreset”. Wait for success message.

The Adobe 9 IFilter instructions didn't mention the step to point the Path variable to the Adobe 9 install directory. So, don't forget to do it.

Right Click on My Computer -> Properties -> Advanced -> Environment Variables -> Path (Under System Variables) -> Edit -> (Add "D:\Program Files\Adobe\Reader 9.0\Reader").

Hi , I was previously using Abode iFilter but its was not able to index the document's title and author.We switched over to Foxit iFilter and our problem got solved. Actually we needed to display the title in search results.

Hope it helps someone out here
