Adobe PDF iFilter 9 for 64-bit platforms

How do I search for a two word phrase as in 'style analysis'.  The software is finding 'style' and 'analysis' not the phrase

iFilter doesn't search, it just extracts words for use by a search engine later. How the search works depends on that software.

  • 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.

  • 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.

  • Adobe PDF iFilter 9 for 64-bit platforms not working!

    I am using window 7 and adobe reader 9. I cant search using keywords that can be found in pdf content. I've indexed those files but the same thing still happen! After a series of installation of ifilter > rebuild index >restart > unistall > restart > reinstall >rebuild>restart.........

  • 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 :-)

  • Issue with Adobe PDF IFilter 64 bit

    Hi All,
    I am facing issue while using Adobe IFilter for 64 bit, the section of code mentioned below is used to load IFilter for PDF IFilter 64 bit using IPersist interface.
    LibHndl = LoadLibrary(strDLLName.c_str());
    if(LibHndl)
                     FnPtr_DllGetClassObject fnDLCO = NULL;
                     // Add to the load list.

                         hrslt = fnDLCO(objChachedIFilterNode.m_iidFilterPersistance, IID_IClassFactory, (LPVOID *)&pICF);
                         if( ( S_OK == hrslt ) && (NULL != pICF) )
                             IFilter *pobjIfilter = NULL;
                              hrslt = pICF->CreateInstance(pUnkOuter, IID_IFilter, (void**)&(pObjIfiter));

    with this pointers to IFilter and IPersistStream for Adobe PDF filter 64 bit have been obtained then the code section below is used to load the IFilter

                         hReturnValue = m_pPersistStream->Load(m_pIStreamBuffer);
    this entire piece of code is working completely fine in debug mode where as in release mode the same thing is causing hang once the control reaches to hReturnValue = m_pPersistStream->Load(m_pIStreamBuffer); statement i.e. execution of this statement is causing the hang in application in release mode and this is happening only in case of pdf files while for all the other extensions files everything is working fine in both debug as well as release mode i.e. loading of all other IFilters is working fine.
    kindly help to resolve this problem for pdf files.
    Thanks

  • Adobe PDF iFilter SQL Server 2008 R2 Full Text not working

    Unable to get the SQL Server 2008 R2 to index PDF files for full-text searching.
    Environment: Windows 7 SP1 Enterprise 64-bit, SQL Server 2008 R2 Express SP3 64-bit, Adobe Reader 11.x
    Installed PDF iFilter 64 (11.0.01) from
    http://www.adobe.com/support/downloads/detail.jsp?ftpID=5542
    Added its folder (C:\Program Files\Adobe\Adobe PDF iFilter 11 for 64-bit platforms\bin\;) to the PC system Path variable. Rebooted PC.
    Confirmed SQL Server sees the Adobe PDF iFilter ..... SELECT * from sys.fulltext_document_types where document_type = '.pdf'

  • Issue with Adobe PDF Ifilter Extension version 11

    Dear Friends
    Come across few issues while determining correct version of Adobe PDF Ifilter Extension
    In my local laptop I installed Ifilter extension 9.0 but unfortunately this version is no longer available for further download.
    Latest version is 11.0 and I downloaded from below link.
    http://www.adobe.com/support/downloads/product.jsp?product=1&platform=Windows
    Just for verification, I uninstalled old version(9.0) and installed the above version(11.0) but going forth PDF indexing stopped working.
    I have a requirement of PDF file content search and using Lucene.Net for this purpose. Lucene indexer that I have written is reading PDF content using PDF filter extension.
    I noticed above code stopped working for any site hosted on IIS. However console,desktop and IIS express applications are working fine.
    For further verification, I installed the same component in another laptop also but ended with same experience.
    Please provide some input.

  • Install 3rd party PDF iFilter for index PDF file as attachment in e-mail (msg)

    I have called Microsoft Permium Support, base on the reply, SharePoint 2013 does not support to index a PDF file attachment in E-mail (msg) except 3rd party iFilter installed. And they finally told me how to edit Windows Registry for install the Adobe iFilter.
    But, the Adobe iFilter is too weak to call large PDF files. So, I would like to install and try the Foxit PDF iFilter, but I cannot find an installation guide for this 3rd party ifilter with SharePoint 2013. 
    Does anyone here have the experience for Foxit PDF iFilter with SharePoint 2013 can help me?
    I am not sure it is bug or feature in SharePoint 2013, but in case I still have to install 3rd party iFilter for index PDF file. I have no idea what is the out of box pdf file indexing support for.
