Adobe PDF iFilter 9 for 64-bit platforms does not index my PDF files in SQL server database

hi all
I need your help
i have this asp.net site which works with sql server
it searches a specific word in the database with full text search
in my database i have a column of type image that holds a PDF file
i want my SP to search for given word in my file
so i installed the Adobe Ifilter
configured it and every thing worked fine
but after i moved to production Server and installed every thing the same way ...it did not create the index for the pdf files
i can search for doc and docx and even for xml but not pdf
i know i installed it correctly since it is working great in the testing environment
i used this link for the configuration
http://www.adobe.com/special/acrobat/configuring_pdf_ifilter_for_ms_sql_server_2005.pdf
the only difference i see between my Testing environment and my Production environment  is that
my testing has
windows sever 2003 sp2 with Sql server 2005 64 bit std sp2   -- works fine
my production  has
windows sever 2003 R2sp2 with Sql server 2005 64 bit ent sp3  --does not work, does not index my pdf files
can you tell me if there are problems with some environments ?
are there any known problems with this Ifilter ?
what should i do ..

Thank you
I opened it in the Acrobat Windows forum

  • Memory Problems with Adobe PDF iFilter for 64-bit

    In preparation to rebuild my Windows Search Index, I installed the Adobe PDF iFilter for 64-bit on my system (Vista Business 64).  When I finally rebuilt the index, I wasn't too surprised by what I saw happen, namely, the SearchFilter.exe process would kick in whenever I wasn't using the system and just eat RAM.  One time I turned it on and it had allocated over 4,000 MB (and my system only has 4,030 MB available) so of course it was forcing all the other processes to hard fault (ie. everything was moving like molasses--for example, it took 20 minutes to put the thing to sleep).  But I just let it do it's work, figuring that perhaps this was to be expected relative to the small library of PDF's that I've accumulated on my computer, ranging from LaTeX generated text files, to containers for hi-res scans.  So, after a day and a half of basically not using my laptop, everything finally calmed down and I enjoyed the benefits of searching the content of my library from the Windows Start menu--for a short while.
    However, to my dismay I've encountered the problem that this freezing of my computer would now occur after everytime I download a new PDF (in this particular case they were Google Books scans) and then left the computer to idle.  Again, the SearchFilter.exe would allocate all of my RAM for itself and just push everything else onto the Virtual RAM, which means the SLOWEST possibly fetching you can get.  I had to uninstall as this was making my computer unusable for 15-30 minutes after each idle. Everything is back in working order without the iFilter, but I would like to know if anyone has reported such problems on x64 systems.  Obviously, I will also report the problem to Microsoft, since the search engine should certainly have the precaution to handle such memory problems.   However, it is a problem that is created by the Adobe PDF iFilter interacting with the Windows Search engine.

    Hello,
    We believe we have figured this out.  It looks like it has to do with the length of the default folder location for the Adobe iFilter.
    I was able to reproduce the issue and the following resolved it for me.  See if this resolves it for you all as well.
    Here is how to get Adobe Version 11 PDF filter to work.
     1 . If you haven’t already, run the following in SQL Server:
    Sp_fulltext_service ‘Load_os_resources’, 1
    Go
    --you might also need to run: 
    sp_fulltext_service ‘Verify_signature’,0  --This is used to validate trusted iFilters. 0 disables it. So use with caution.
    --go
    2. Stop SQL Server.  (Make sure FDHost.exe stops)
    3.  
    Uninstall the Adobe ifilter (because it defaulted to having spaces or the folder name is too long).
    4.  
    Reinstall the Adobe iFilter and when it prompts for where to install it, change it to: C:\Program Files\Adobe\PDFiFilter
    5.  Once the installation finishes, go the computer’s Environment variables. Add the following to the PATH.
    C:\Program Files\Adobe\PDFiFilter\BIN
    NOTE: it must include the BIN folder
    NOTE: If you had the OLD location that included spaces, remove it from the path environment variable.
    6. Start SQL Server
    7.  IF you had an existing Full-text index on PDFs, drop the full-text index and recreate it.
    8. You should now get results when you run sys.dm_fts_index_keywords('db','tblname')  --Note: Change db to be the actual database name and tblname to be the actual table name.
     Give this a try and see if this fixes yours. 
    Sincerely,

    How do I download Adobe Flash Player for a computer that does not have internet?

    Hello Walter,
    that's it, usually you get and Adobe Flash Player Installer only.  For a distribution in a company, or an installation on a PC without internet access, Adobe has available an offline installer. This installer you don't need to uncompress it first. You can download the installation file from there (you must logged in with your Adobe ID): http://www.adobe.com/products/flashplayer/distribution3.html

  • 64-bit driver does not load at boot

    Hi.
    After recompiling a scsi target driver for 64 bits, it does not load automatically at boot time as it does if booting 32-bit kernel.
    The 64-bit module is copied to /usr/kernel/drv/sparcv9. the <driver>.conf file is in /usr/kernel/drv. Using add_drv is fine, it attaches and loads the driver (the driver works also).
    It also loads using modload manually after boot or calling it from /etc/rc3 or so.
    what else is required on 64-bit kernel to get the autoload?
    Thanks,
    Luis.

  • Adobe PDF iFilter 9 for 64-bit platforms + temp folders in the root

    Adobe PDF iFilter 9 for 64-bit platforms creates temp folders for some pdfs with attachments in the root of Windows Server 2008 R2 x64 bit machine. Do you know how to solve it?

    After having tried all the different suggestions out there I "stumbled" on the REAL solution to this problem (for me at least).
    Ensure that the "Windows Search" service has "Allow service to interact with desktop" enabled:
    After enabling this you need to restart the service.
    Please note that this fix alone (not doing anything else) solves the problem :-)

  • Adobe PDF IFilter for document searches does not work

    I am new to full text indexing of documents but I know enough to get the files into the database and apply indexing and searches because I got it to work for Word (.doc) files.  
    I'm trying to get Adobe's Ifilter version 11 to work in Windows 7 x64.  I'm using Sql Server 2012 Express with Advanced Services sp1. I have included the full path to the /bin folder for the PDF dll in my PATH environment variable per the instructions.
    Register ifilters (after install)
    EXEC sys.sp_fulltext_service 'load_os_resources', 1;
    Verify that the .pdf filter is installed:
    EXEC sys.sp_help_fulltext_system_components 'filter';
    This is the row I get for PDF which I delimited with ';'. The underline portion is what I have in PATH env variable.
    filter; .pdf; E8978DA6-047F-4E3D-9C78-CDBE46041603; C:\Program Files\Adobe\Adobe PDF iFilter 11 for 64-bit platforms\bin\PDFFilter.dll; 11.0.1.36;  Adobe Systems, Inc.
    The file content column is
    content VARBINARY(MAX) NOT NULL
    I insert the file with
    INSERT INTO dbo.Documents (filename, doctype, content)
    SELECT
     N'MyFile',
     N'pdf',
     bulkcolumn
    FROM OPENROWSET(BULK 'C:\MyFile.pdf', SINGLE_BLOB) AS doc;
    I reboot the machine and rebuild the Full Text Catalog after installing the PDF iFilter.
    Then I search with one of these.  There are Word and PDF files that contain 'apple'.
     SELECT id, filename, doctype FROM dbo.Documents WHERE FREETEXT(content, N'apple');
     SELECT id, filename, doctype FROM dbo.Documents WHERE CONTAINS(content, N'apple');
    Now this all works well for .doc files but .PDF files never show up in searches.  I have tried both version 9 and version 11 to no avail.

    Maybe you could supply us with more details about what exactly you are doing, how you are doing and what you are using to do it.
    The reason I say this is because you are in the forum for Adobe Reader which is a FREE application and not a service.

  • Adobe Acrobat 10.1.3 Mac OS does not inherit the Duplex setting from PPD for HP printers

    Adobe Acrobat for the Mac OS does not inherit the setting from the PPD for the printer. Our current settings for the PPD has Duplex enabled as the default for the HP LJ 9050 and it works in all the application with the exception of Acrobat 10.1.3, Acrobat does not inherit this setting from the driver.  Our previous installation with Acrobat 10.1.0 duplex worked well with our PPD configuration where Acrobat inherits the setting from the PPD and duplex is default for all our black and white printers.
    We found reference to the reserve issue with 10.1.2 in the forum but that solution is global for all printers and it only works with version 10.1.2 
    Does anyone know how to set the default printing settings in Acrobat version 10.1.3 to allow us to have duplex printing by default on the Mac.

    >It looks like a typical case of finger pointing, Adobe blames Epson, Epson blames Apple. Apple blames the user...
    No, you still don't get it...Lightroom is a Cocoa app...it uses Cocoa printing APIs...therefore, print drivers will have to be rev'ed to support those Cocoa APIs...the 3800 (6.10) DOES...the earlier 3.5x drivers won't under Leopard.
    What's the driver version of your R800? Something like 3.09? The odds are REAL GOOD (since Epson hasn't released an updated driver for that printer yet) that it's not been updated.
    So, you are just gonna have to wait for Epson to rev the drivers, use Tiger instead of Leopard or print out of Photoshop CS3 (which is a Carbon app and uses the Carbon APIs) or not print.
    You may not _LIKE IT_ but those are your options...
