PDF iFilter 11.0.01 for x64 is not usable

I use Traditional Chinese Windows 7 x64 Home Premium SP1 and Adobe Reader 11.0.02.
I don't use the "Windows Search" service and have disabled it.
Today I un-installed the old Adobe PDF iFilter 9 for x64 (from Programs and Features), restarted my PC and installed the latest PDF iFilter 11.0.01 for x64. Also, after installation, I appended to the PATH environment variable, correctly, the full path of the bin sub-folder under this new iFilter's default installation folder, i.e., C:\Program Files\Adobe\Adobe PDF iFilter 11 for 64-bit platforms\bin .
Now, in Windows Explorer, when I do a search from the serach box (at the upper righthand corner), with the syntax content:<search keyword>, no result is returned from any PDF file when I do know the <search keyword> is contained in some PDF files in the folder.
Another bad thing... I have a file searching utility called "FileSeek 3.0", which was released in April this year. After the installation of iFilter 11.0.01, now it hangs when searching PDF files.
There was no problem before today, when iFilter 9 was used.
So, anything wrong with the 11.0.01 iFilter? Or I missed something?

I have the same problem for a couple of months, and I had to use a plug-in in Firefox to print a web page. I really need the web page address in the footer for reference purposes which Chrome print (Ctrl+P) does not produce.
The error message is: A supported version of Acrobat could not be found. Please install or update Acrobat to 11.0.9 or higher."
After updating to Acrobat 11.0.10 and repairing the installation the problem did not go away.
Deleting and re-installing the extension did not help either.

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'
Inserted PDF files to my table (see below for CREATE statement).
The SQLFT log says ... Warning: No appropriate filter was found during full-text index population for table or indexed view '[TestDB].[dbo].[pdfifiltertable]' (table or indexed view ID '2105058535', database ID '7'), full-text key value '1'.
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.

PDF Document requests a password for opening despite not setting it up to do so

I created a secure pdf document that is to be downloaded from a web site. Upon downloading, users should be able to open/view the pdf without having to enter a password, but would need a password to be able to edit or make changes to the document. When testing the document and downloading from the web site, I am prompted for a password even though I did not set the pdf to request one for opening the document.
Can someone please help me undertand what's going on. I've tried a million things with no luck!
Thanks!

Can you post the file somewhere for us to look at?

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.

PDF iFilter 9 Not Working In Windows 7 x64

When I first started playing around with pdf ifilters over a month ago, I had Adobe Acrobat 8 Standard version 8.2.4 installed. It is what shipped with my ScanSnap S510 that I bought about 1-1/2 years ago. At some point, I read that for Win7 x64, I needed Adobe Reader 9, so I installed version 9.3.4. Then I read, NO, don't install different versions at the same time. AARRGGHH!
So, on Sept 10, I uninstalled both versions and only put back Adobe Acrobat 8 Standard version 8.2.4. That is how I am set up now. Here are the steps I took today. Maybe someone can see either something I did wrong or find a step I missed.
1. Installed the Adobe ifilter - PDFFilter64installer.msi
2. Opened Indexing Options-->Advanced-->File Types and checked the pdf and pdfxml boxes (next to the pdf file type, it does say "PDF Filter")
3. Under, "How should this file be indexed?" I made sure "Index Properties and File Contents" was selected.
4. Opened System Properties-->Environment Variables and edited the Path Variable so it now contains - %SystemRoot%\system32;%SystemRoot%;%SystemRoot%\System32\Wbem;%SYSTEMROOT%\System32\Windo wsPowerShell\v1.0\;C:\Program Files\ThinkPad\Bluetooth Software\;C:\Program Files\ThinkPad\Bluetooth Software\syswow64;C:\Program Files\Intel\WiFi\bin\;C:\Program Files\Common Files\Intel\WirelessCommon\;C:\Program Files (x86)\Common Files\Lenovo;C:\Program Files (x86)\Common Files\Ulead Systems\MPEG;C:\Program Files (x86)\Lenovo\Access Connections\;C:\Program Files\Adobe\Adobe PDF iFilter 9 for 64-bit platforms\bin
5. Rebooted
6. Opened Indexing Options-->Advanced and clicked on the "Rebuild" button at which point it started indexing.
It indexed 39,705 files in about 30 minutes - not a good sign, too quick. Of those, 4,365 are pdf files. My pdf files are a mix of documents downloaded from company websites (like monthly statements), scanned and OCR'ed with my ScanSnap S510; scanned with an HP AIO and OCR'ed with the HP software; scanned on an HP AIO using Acrobat 8 Standard and OCR'ed with Acrobat 8 Standard.
I tried a test. There are at least 28 pdf files, downloaded from 2 different financial websites, that contain the very unique last name of my financial advisor. These are NOT scanned and OCR'ed paper pages. I opened several of the files individually with Acrobat 8 Standard and made sure I could search & find his name within the documents - his name was found every time. I closed the documents and Acrobat 8 Standard. I clicked on the Windows Start button and typed his last name. It found 9 Word documents, a whole bunch of email messages - and 1 stinking pdf file!?!
What is wrong?
Any & all ideas, thoughts & suggestions are appreciated.
Thanks!

So, I opened a Customer Support case with Adobe.
Today, I get their response. The first line says it all. The rest of it is just standard yada and was a waste of time if they had bothered to read what I sent them. I've already done what they cut & pasted.
The status of my case has been changed to "Withdrawn." So much for Adobe customer support.
Here's their response:
"I regret to inform you that we have not tested it yet on windows 7
platform. However I would like to inform you that Please follow the
steps mentioned below:
1. Download and extract the contents of "PDFiFilter64installer.zip" to
your local drive.( FROM THE LINK MENTIONED BELOW):
http://www.adobe.com/support/downloads/detail.jsp?ftpID=4025
2. Double click "PDFFilter64installer.msi" to launch the installer.
3. Follow the instructions in the installer wizard to complete the
installation.
After installing the PDF iFilter, it is recommended that you set your
system PATH environment variable to the "bin" folder of the "Ifilter"
installation. For example, from the "Control
Panel\System\Advanced\Environment Variables" tab, append to PATH
"C:\Program Files\Adobe\Adobe PDF iFilter 9 for 64-bit platforms\bin\"
and then restart the computer."

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.

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.

You ca plan to use Foxit.
steps are nearly the same which we use in sharepoint 2013
1. We need to update registry for pdf . Registry value is {987f8d1a-26e6-4554-b007-6b20e2680632}
2. we need to install the foxit ifilter
Here are steps for same
http://support.microsoft.com/kb/2293357
3. run below command:
net stop spsearch4
net start spsearch4
net stop osearch14
net start osearch14

Adobe Reader will not set as default application for .pdf in windows 8.1 pro x64

When I install adobe reader the icon/app changes from windows reader to Pick an app, I choose change and select adobe reader, the icons on my desktop flicker but nothing actually changes.Control Panel\All Control Panel Items\Default Programs\Set Default Programs\Set Program Associations, Select adobe reader, Choose defaults for this program, PDF is unticked so I tick it and choose save, go back in and it is unticked again??? Right click on a pdf file, choose open with, choose default program, use this app for all .pdf files is ticked, select adobe...Still nothing changes, stays on pick an app. I uninstall adobe reader then the pdf icon changes to and default opens with windows reader again. Reinstall adobe reader and back to the same thing. ???? I am a power user, build configure computers and subsequent software, started with DOS 6.0, learned unix/linux/networking concepts/networking security/server versions of windows/active directory. The only solution I could think of was to hack the registry which I looked for but could not find. I am running 8.1 pro x64, I just discovered that windows reader (which I cant uninstall) has the same problem when adobe reader is installed. Windows will not allow either one to be set as default while they co-exist.

After an extended session with chat only to be told that since Adobe Reader was free they could not help me :-(... I figured it out myself.
I opened a administrator: command prompt window and typed "regedit" Through extensive searching and stumbled on this key located at... HKEY_USERS\S-1-5-21-2274202122-2588692262-2244265822-1001_Classes\.pdf\OpenWithProgids The S-1-5-21...1001... is my current logged on user, your value may differ slightly. Typically the builtin disabled administrator account is 1000 and when you install windows and create a user account "John Doe" it will have administrator priveleges and be auto numbered 1001, every user account created therafter will increase by 1 ie...1002, 1003, 1004 etc. even if you remove (delete) an account and re-create it you wont get the same number, the system will use the next number in sequence. The old one will have been trashed never to be used again. Again here is the key...
HKEY_USERS\S-1-5-21-2274202122-2588692262-2244265822-1001_Classes\.pdf\OpenWithProgids I deleted this key under (default) on the right side...
Name                                                                       Type                                           Data
(Default)                                                                   REG_SZ                                    (value not set)
AppX86746z2101ayy2ygv3g96e4eqdf8r99j            REG_NONE                              (zero-length binary value) ---- This is the key to delete!!!
Personally I selected computer on the left side and the went to file/export then chose a file name [01 29 2014 regbackup.reg] and location. Then I selected "OpenWithProgids" and did the same thing,[pdf.reg] this saves a backup of the entire regestry and the key you are about to delete as a safety net. When you are done all you have to do is go to a pdf file, right click and choose open with...Adobe Reader - the box always use this app should already be checked.
I did this and it works yet because improper regestry modification can crash your system I am compelled to warn... Use at your own risk. If you are uncomfortable modifying your registry I would suggest consulting with someone qualified and has resources to do offline registry modifications/restorations which makes it VERY important to do the computer export registry backup.

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

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

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.........
somehow two or three files can be search by typing keywords in their content but still not all! Can someone help?!

hi Phillip
i am not sure what you mean

Just wondering.. if you ever got this figured out? If not.. I can assist

Concurrent installation of PDF IFilter 9 for indexing and Adobe PDF Reader 9.5.2

There is PDF IFilter 9, which is configured on SharePoint2010. I have seen that the installation of additional AdoveReader (in our case Adobe PDF Reader 9.5.2) on the same server can destroy IFilter installation. Is it somebody who has experience with that?

hi Phillip
i am not sure what you mean
I downloaded the ifilter and installed it
then configured everything as shown in the pdf file
I tried indexing from scratch exactly as i did successfully in the other computer
and got some errors in the log file
i checked the sql server log and the event viewer logs and got :
Error '0x80004005' occurred during full-text index population for table or indexed view '[Pirsumim_ext_ck].[dbo].[T_PUBLICATIONS]' (table or indexed view ID '2073058421', database ID '14'), full-text key value 0x0000027A. Attempt will be made to reindex it.
The component 'PDFFilter.dll' reported error while indexing. Component path 'C:\Program Files\Adobe\Adobe PDF iFilter 9 for 64-bit platforms\bin\PDFFilter.dll'.

Adobe PDF iFilter 11 creating folders in C:

Adobe PDF iFilter 11 is creating a bunch of folders in the root of my Windows Server 2008 R2 x64 bit machine. It's creating folders as A9R****-******* What can I do to fix this? Thanks!

So far it's been working. I think I just never added the \ at the end of the path!
I did:
Program Files\Adobe\Adobe PDF iFilter 9 for 64-bit platforms\bin
instead of:
Program Files\Adobe\Adobe PDF iFilter 9 for 64-bit platforms\bin\

PDF iFilter 11.0.01 for x64 is not usable
