[edit] Installation

After installing Adobe Reader 8, follow these instructions:

  1. In the SSP > Search Settings > File Types screen, insure that pdf has been added.
  2. Modify that GUID associated with SharePoint to point to the Adobe 8 IFilter by changing the Default value to {E8978DA6-047F-4E3D-9C78-CDBE46041603} for the following registry entry:

HKEY_LM\Software\Office Server\12\Search\Setup\ContentIndexCommon\Filters\Extensions\.pdf

  1. Add "C:\Program Files\Adobe\Reader 8.0\Reader" to the path.
  2. Stop and Start Office Search by running the following:

net stop osearch && net start osearch

Any new PDF files added will be indexed – the rest will be picked up after the next full crawl.
