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.
                 fnDLCO = (FnPtr_DllGetClassObject)GetProcAddress(LibHndl, "DllGetClassObject");
                 if(NULL != fnDLCO)
                     IClassFactory* pICF = NULL;
                     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));
                         if( ( S_OK == hrslt ) && (NULL != pObjIfiter) )
                             IPersistStream* persistStream = NULL;
                             hrslt = pObjIfiter->QueryInterface(IID_IPersistStream, (void**)&persistStream);
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
        size_t dwReadSize = 0;
         pFile = fopen(pszFileName, "rb"); //pszFileName: complete path of pdf file
         if(NULL != pFile)
             if(0 == fseek(pFile, 0L, SEEK_END))
                 dwSize = ftell(pFile);
                 dwFileSize = dwSize;
                 fseek(pFile, 0L, SEEK_SET);
                   m_pbyDataBuffer = (unsigned char *)GlobalAlloc(GPTR, dwSize);
                    bool bolReadFile = false;
             if(NULL != m_pbyDataBuffer)
                 dwReadSize = fread(m_pbyDataBuffer, 1, dwSize, pFile);
             hStreamResult = CreateStreamOnHGlobal(NULL, TRUE, &m_pIStreamBuffer);                   //m_pIStreamBuffer: is pointer to IStream
             if(NULL != m_pIStreamBuffer)
                 LARGE_INTEGER iLarge = {0};
                 m_pIStreamBuffer->Seek(iLarge, STREAM_SEEK_SET, NULL);
                 ULARGE_INTEGER uInt = {0};
                 ULONG dwBytesWritten = 0;
                 m_pIStreamBuffer->SetSize(uInt);
                 if(NULL != m_pbySecDataBuffer)
                     hStreamResult = m_pIStreamBuffer->Write((void const*)m_pbySecDataBuffer, (ULONG)dwSize, &dwBytesWritten);
                 else
                     hStreamResult = m_pIStreamBuffer->Write((void const*)m_pbyDataBuffer, (ULONG)dwSize, &dwBytesWritten);
             fclose(pFile);
             pFile = NULL;
         if(S_OK == hStreamResult)
             if((NULL != objCIFilterExNode.m_pObjIfiter) &&\
                 (NULL != objCIFilterExNode.m_pObjIPersistStream))
                 m_pGenericFilter = objCIFilterExNode.m_pObjIfiter;
                 m_pPersistStream = objCIFilterExNode.m_pObjIPersistStream;
                 if(NULL != m_pIStreamBuffer)
                     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

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.

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.

Print issue with Adobe PDF reader print in IE9

We are unable to print Brava PDF documents with Adobe PDF reader activeX enabled in IE9. The same runs fine in Chrome with Adobe PDF reader activeX enabled.
I noticed Chrome uses
C:\Program Files\Adobe\Reader 10.0\Reader\AIR\nppdf32.dll, whereas IE9 uses-C:\Program Files\Common Files\Adobe\Acrobat\ActiveX\AcroPDF.dll.
Has anyone faced this issue?

Can you print other pdf files from within IE9? Can you download the files and print them directly from Reader on you computer? Please list the steps you are using to print the pdf from IE9.

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 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

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'

Some columns of the row were not indexed.
Installed other filters for Office. Added files of type DOC, XPS. Confirmed the search query works for those file types. So as such SQL Full-Text is enabled and working.
Below my T-SQL commands:
Exec sp_fulltext_service 'load_os_resources', 1

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.

Issue with Adobe maybe?

Hi,
So I am having issues with adobe reader. I work as tech support and someone called in with issues. His issue is:
Cannot open forms and enter information then save them back using his program. The webprogram he is using is JIDS. JIDS requires that the pdf be opened in the webbrowser. This is so it can be saved back to their database or whatever.
The issue is when he tries to open the document in ie it opens it on his local adobe program not in the browser. I checked the addons and adobe will not appear there. (in any of the catagories plz do not reply im in the wrong view or whatever) If I open a force ie to open a pdf nothing appears (makes sense because it says there is no addon). I have uninstalled and reinstalled adobe multiple times from adobe.com (it is up-to-date) every time says installed successfully. This is a new computer and does not have older versions on it. I have removed it using the adobe cleaner then reinstalled no change. I tried reapplying the acropdf.dll using regsvr32 both in the 32bit and 64 bit locations (\windows\system32\ and \windows\sysWOW64\) and I keep getting an error that says loaded but dllregisterserver error 0x80070005. which is permissions error, but he is the only admin on the pc(local admin) and has full access, uac is shut off and i was using the cmd in run as administrator mode.
Since i couldnt find anything else on this I dicided to use firefox since ie and FF are only browsers allowed by JIDS. I downloaded newest FF and FF does say adobe reader addon is installed, but when i open the pdf in the JIDS program the fields are not editable and it has a popup ontop of the browser saying something about compatability issue and asks me to open with different program (clicking it opens the pdf in the adobe reader program and it is then editable but will not save back to the website, no supprise there).
He is using windows 7 64bit logging onto a domain. Using IE9 and updated adobe reader (11.0.03) and newest version of Firefox
Windows is fully up to date.
His computer is the exact same model as the one next to it that works perfectly fine and he hasnt done anything that could have messed up the system files (he knows he is bad with computers and doesnt do anything without asking someone else first). Mostly only uses the webbrowser and another program thats installed on there for him already.
I plan on installing adobe reader X or possibly older version of IE/FF to see if these might help. I also will be checking/disabling what he has for AV (i think its just windows security essentials but im not sure will doublecheck).
Any other suggestions on things to try? What is could be causing these issues?

Probable issue with the Firefox is that in the documentation it is poorly worded poorly, JIDS only support FF 17.
What is the issue with IE if that does fix the FF issue?

How do I display the web address with Adobe PDF Reader 10.1.1 & IE 9 x64?

Until a week ago, I was using IE 9 32-bit version together with Adobe PDF Reader 10.1.1. When I would try to open a PDF file from within the browser, it would and the Web Address would continue to display at the top of the window while browing the PDF document. I could then continue using IE 9 and move on to other pages and etc...
Now, I have swtiched to using the IE 9 64-bit version. What happens now is that when I enter an address in the web browser and it's a direct link to a PDF file example: https://www.technicalindicatorindex.com/newsletter/bpdf/TII_Newsletter _1686a_10.11.11_7055475115.pdf ), it opens up with no problems, but I no longer see the IE 9 Web Address shown anywhere. So in essence, that page becomes a Adobe PDF program window and I loose my IE 9 access. I guess the PDF files are no longer displayed within the browser (althought I have it check ON).
Am I missing something?

I did write there, but no replies
I guess that with Adobe Reader 10.1.1 running with IE 9.x in x64 bit mode, you cannot open the PDF within explorer, as it does it outside it as a separate Window?
Correct?

Having major issues with Adobe Media Encoder (AME) - exporting with weird image flickering/colour anomalies, crashing regularly, freezing during encode...!

Hi Guys
I am having some real issues with Adobe Media Encoder (AME) at the moment. It appears that I am unable to encode an h.264 for Vimeo from a Premiere Pro Project file at the moment without at least some weird image issues that are not supposed to be there. These include weird flickering, colour changes, artefacts etc. This is if I am lucky...often I am unable to get the process to complete as the application either crashes and tells me there has been a problem or it simply freezes and I have to force quit the application and often restart my machine.
The problem seems to not to just be with h.264 for the web encodes but also with BluRay h.264 as well. As yet I haven't seen if there is a problem with MPEG-2 for DVD so I will check this out too!
Does anyone else see this happening or does anyone know what might be the problem?
I thought the Premiere Pro project might have been corrupt so tried a different project but the same issues were happening here too.
Any help would be really gratefully received.
Cheers
EDIT - I have just found this online which is exactly the problem I am having! Thanks a bloody bunch Apple! 10.9.3 causing headaches for Mac Pro users | MacIssues

Agreed, I now have a project to GET OUT, and AME crashes consistently 1/3 into the render. It appears to halt all processing after (real time) 00:02:30
Am seriously considering uninstalling CC as I am beginning to find other issues in some apps, and going back to CS6/MC just so I can get work out. Durn it Adobe this is AWFUL!!
Alright, let's try to be constructive instead of throwing rocks... but the frustration level is high, and I have material on deadline. Let's get with this, guys...
What OS Win7, 64-bit
What version of AME/PPro (Please be specific by getting the full version number in the About Adobe Media Encoder screen) 8.2.0.54 Ppro: 8.2.0 (65)
When is it crashing (Again, the more detail here about where it was in the encoding process the better) roughly 1/3 into the sequence, always on exactly the same frame - tried replacing the clip with something different to see if it was a timeline error, and NO EFFECT.
What is your source (PPro project or media file (what kind?)) PPro
If the source if a PPro project, does it work when exporting directly from PPro? NO
What format are you exporting to? H.264, QT, WM, tried everything my client can play.
Do other formats work? MPEG2, QuickTime, etc? NO
Have you tried with GPU rendering on? How about turning it off by switching to Software-only mode? Mine doesn't have any choice, it's software-only.
Have you tried disabling Native Sequence Loading? (AME Preferences: General > Enable Native Sequence Loading) No effect
Other things I tried: uninstalling/reinstalling AME, setting cache to a fast local disk.

Issues with Adobe Professional 9

Hi
We are facing some issues with Adobe Professional 9,
The problems are as follows while converting the DOC file to PDF using Adobe Proff 9.
1) Bullets are missing
2) Crossreferences are not working
3) adding junk characters in header.
Can you please help me on this.
We need to understand the issue.

Just some stray thoughts on the topic:
Use Adobe PDFMaker to create the PDF from the MS Word file.
When a MS Word cross-reference is inserted, ensure that "Insert as hyperlink" is ticked in the Cross-reference dialog.
In the configuration of Adobe PDFMaker's Preferences, ensure "Add Links" is ticked (under the Settings tab).
Ensure that the installed Acrobat (and associated Adobe PDFMaker) is working with a compatible version of Office.
See: http://kb2.adobe.com/cps/333/333504.html
For all characters used in the source MS Word file; ensure that the characters used provide proper mapping to Unicode.
Do not use characters that rely upon a restricted character value.
When using Word Headings/Styles that incorporate the bullet character, ensure you work from those that are "built-in" to MS Word.
If you are working out of Windows 7 / Office 2010 you need to move up to Acrobat X.
Be well...

Viewing issue with Adobe Reader

Hi there,
I'm having an issue with Adobe reader, which appears to be not related to platform or version. To cut a long story short. I've created an A4 design in Photoshop. Part of this design includes some boxes, that have been given an outline (border) effect. Also bare in mind that the Photoshop files are being created at 350dpi.
When I put my design into Illustrator/ InDesign and then generate a PDF file. I then go and look at the pdf file and when the zoom is at 100%, the edges of the boxes are not straight, you'll get a slight offset half way along for example. However, when I zoom in to 400% the problem disapears and the lines (edges) look perfectly as they should.
Does anyone know about this issue? I'm worried that when I print from the PDF, this issue will be in the print-out - or will it be OK when I print it seeming as it dissapears at 400% zoom.
Any prompt answers or help would be appreciated.
Kind regards,
Luke

Can you open Reader by itself? If so, try disabling Protected Mode [Edit | Preferences | Security (Enhanced)].

Issue with opening .PDF files after recalling from Symantec Enterprise Vault

Good Morning,
I am having issues with opening PDF files that have been recalled from Symantec Enterprise Vault and some of the files are anywhere from 3-4 years old. Some files open, while others return the error: Adobe Reader could not open filename.pdf because it is not a supported file type or might have been damaged. It is inconsistent as to which files it occurs with. I am not ready to believe that I have that many corrupt files out there. I am opening them on a Windows 7 Enterprise SP1 x64 desktop. Adobe 10.1.7. I have already configured the registry setting for bValidateBytesBeforeHeader that I found in another article to no avail.
The files are on a network share, but I also tried copying them to my local desktop and still received the error.
I have seen other posts regarding this error, but do not see a definitive solution and am hoping that in recent days someone has come up with a solution.
Thank You
Brian Dougherty

Not supported file type can (but not always) mean the PDF was created with an old enough version of Acrobat, that it isn't comaptible with reader X or XI.
Might have been damaged is pretty cut and dried in its meaning and interpretation.
There's a known issue with Mac OS and Safari Browser "breaking" PDFs as they download, but it's not so common for Windows. Since these are files you already had, it would be even less applicable.
You can try downloading an older version of Reader to check if it's a compatibility issue, but you'd have to uninstall the latest to do it and it'd be a lot of bother if they still don't open. It would also mean they are "broken" and cannot be repaired, that I know of.
