Adobe Reader X and Indexing Service - pdf content not searchable

Install Adobe Reader X on a Windows 2003 machine with Indexing Service installed. Create a catalog (folder) and point indexing service at it so that documents are indexed. Verify indexing is working with a simple text file. New copy a pdf file into the folder. You will see in Computer Management the file appear to be indexed. Now simply query the catalog - the file contents are not indexed. The iFilter that gets installed should allow indexing service to index pdf file contents and return search results when the catalog is queried.

Hi MT.Freelance
The way that "Welcome Pages" are done in Acrobat X has changed from Acrobat 9, what you are seeing looks like a bug related to these changes.

  • Issue: installed Adobe Reader XI, Norwegian version, existing pdf will not open or appear empty

    I have uninstalled and reinstalled a number of times, but I still have the same issue. Adobe automatically gives me the Norwegian version as I live in Norway. When I open existing pdf files they appear empty, and automatically close themselves after a few seconds.
    Any idea how I can solve this problem?
    Your input is highly appreciated!
    Thank you.

    Thank you so much for your swift response, Pat! The first step – accepting the Eula license agreement solved my problem ☺ ☺ ☺
    Wish you a great day – you just helped making mine a lot better!

  • I downloaded Adobe Reader 11 and now the PDFs show as a black screen.  What gives?

    After downloading and installing Adobe Reader 11, when I try to read a pdf on screen, all I see is a black screen.  Very frustrating.  Can anyone help me out?  thanks.

    Turns out there was a conflict between an older PDF plug-in installed by Adobe InDesign CS3 and the newer one installed by Adobe Reader.  Removing the older one from the Library fixed the problem.

  • Adobe Reader X and Page Embedded PDFs

    We are experiencing an issue across our corporation wherein, post-upgrade to Adobe Reader X, websites opened with Internet Explorer containing an embedded PDF frame now show a blank box instead of the PDF.  Firefox will display these sites correctly and I have verified Firefox is using the updated Reader X plug-in.  This has been tested across many configurations and behaves consistently in this fashion.  Reversion to Adobe Reader 9 appears to solve the problem, however, this is not a true solution.
    Help?

    This may help a few of you here.
    I'm running IE 8 and Adobe Reader X on a WIN64Bit  system.
    Reader X wouldn't open an embedded  PDF with IE8 64BIT. AR X seems to like an older version of IE.
    Go to your START menu and you should see "Internet Explorer" and "Internet Explore (64-bit)".
    Open a window with the "Internet Explorer", not the (64-bit).
    In the IE8 window you'll see a "?" on the tool bar. Open it and click on "About Internet Explorer".
    You should NOT SEE "64-bit Edition".
    If you don't see "64-Bit Edition", go and try to view the PDF again.
    It works for me and it seems I'll have to live with it until there's a patch for 64-Bit.

  • Adobe Reader X and searching within PDFs in Outlook 2007

    Hello,
    Is it possible to search within pdfs attached to emails in Outlook 2007 via the search box in Outlook?  I currently have Adobe Acrobat Reader X installed and Outlook 2007.  Is there an iFilter available for this functionality within Reader X or would I need to either go back to Reader 9 or upgrade to a newer version to have this capability?
    Thanks.

  • Adobe Reader X 10.1.1: PDF does not display in browser

    Hello,
    If I click on a link to a PDF-file, this PDF-file does not display in browser eventhough I have checked "Display PDF in browser" (Preferences ==> Internet ==> Web Browser Options) but instead Adobe Reader X opens the PDF-file outside browser. What is wrong?
    Thank you for your help.

    I solved the problem. I used Internet Explorer, 64-bit. If I use Internet Explorer 32-bit the PDF-file displays in browser. If I use Internet Explorer 64-bit Adobe Reader X opens the PDF-file outside browser.

    Hello Shahid,
    Your question has been quite clearly answered here http://social.technet.microsoft.com/Forums/sharepoint/en-US/126076e8-7511-44cc-9c59-ce8cdd534758/sharepoint-foundation-2010-ocr-help?forum=sharepointgeneralprevious
    If you are looking for an OCR solution that will allow you to use the full-text search without having to dive into all the technicalities of it, maybe Udocx is something for you (see Udocx.com). It allows you to upload documents from your MFP and desktop
    directly into SharePoint folders including OCR and metadata.

  • Saving PDF forms in Adobe Reader 8 and below

    Hi everyone,
    I've created a PDF form for a survey using Acrobat XI Pro, and I've also Save As Other > Reader Extended PDF > Enable More Tools (includes form fill-in and save). I've tried it on Reader 9, X and XI, and I'm able to fill out the form, save it and email it back to myself. I've also emailed it to a few of my friends to try out the form and email it back to me, and most of them are able to do so.
    But the problem is one of my friends who's using Reader 8 is unable to save the completed form. This message comes out when he tries to save it:
    "This document contained certain rights to enable special features in Adobe Reader. The document has been changed since it was created and these rights are no longer valid. Please contact the author for the original version of this document."
    I've tried reading about this problem online, but I can't seem to find a satisfactory answer anywhere. I'm not sure if anyone knows of a way to overcome this, or if it's just simply that Adobe Reader 8 and below are unable to save a PDF form.
    Please help, I'm really at my wit's end.

    Windows Vista.
    I'm trying to make sure my form works for every one of my respondents, as I can't be sure what kind of Reader versions each respondent will be using.

    The add annotations field shows as not allowed in the security options. So how do I send this form back with the changes??

    I think you you need to click 'save' first, then it is saved to acrobat, where it will prompt to send.

    Please see "Error occurred when trying to access this service" when logging on to Acrobat.com.
    Adobe has just released an update to Adobe Reader, so if you're accessing the service via Reader, please let us know whether the update helps resolve the issue.

  • I installed Adobe Reader X and i can't print PDF's without opening Reader first

    Hi, i am using windows XP and i just installed Adobe Reader X onto a workstation within' my office. I use to have Adobe Reader 9 where i could just open a folder with my PDF's. For example, My Documents folder and right click on the PDF i want to print, without opening the file in Adobe Reader first and then clicking print. With Adobe Reader X, i can't do the right click option and print because nothing happens.
    Is they an option in Adobe Reader X i need to turn on or off, to get the function of printing by right clicking on the PDF file without opening Reader X to print please ?

    Is it happening all the times or happened just in the starting when you hadn't accepted EULA?
    Is it still happening after accepting EULA?
    Also, can you please tell what printer exactly are you using?
