The procedure below wouldn’t work for 64 bit servers. You can find comments on this in: http://workerthread.wordpress.com/2008/07/18/adobe-reader-9-available-works-fine-with-sharepoint/ WSS needs to know what extension to use, so you need to change a few registry entries.
In regedit:
- HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SOFTWARE\Microsoft\Shared Tools\Web Server Extensions\12.0\Search\Applications\{ANYGUID}\Gather\Search\Extensions\ExtensionList
Find the highest number in the list and add the next value with PDF for the value.
- HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SOFTWARE\Microsoft\Shared Tools\Web Server Extensions\12.0\Search\Setup\ContentIndexCommon\Filters\Extension
This is the list of file extensions with a class ID for the iFilter used to index the extension. If .pdf is not listed, add it. It should have a multi-string value in which you need to add the CLSID for the iFilter added by Adobe Reader. In version 9, this file is called: "AcroRDIF.dll."
CLSID for 9 = {E8978DA6-047F-4E3D-9C78-CDBE46041603}.
- Add its path to the environment variables of the server: Start Menu / right click My Computer /select Properties /go to the Advanced tab /click on the Environmental Variables button and scroll down the Path variable, select it and click on the Edit button and add the path ";C:\Program Files\Adobe\Reader 9.0\Reader" then click OK to apply and close.
- Reboot the server. It may take some time until the PDF documents are indexed.
You can also run the search service: stsadm -o spsearch... for WSS and SSP Full Crawl for MOSS.
