Title:

How do I get my site to Index .pdf files ?

Body:

Adobe provide a file called IFilter50.exe. The present location for this is http://www.adobe.com/support/downloads/detail.jsp?ftpID=1276

(Further information on the IFilter interface can be found in part 4 of the "Index Server SDK TechNet Documentation". This section is called "Using Custom Filters with Indexing Service")

STS is not specified on this web page, but the program does work with STS.

The best way to use this seems to be to install it and go away for the weekend after which with luck you will be able to find .pdf files from your STS site.

Remember to Stop Indexing Service before you add the filter and to Start Indexing Services again afterwards ! Read too the Read me file that comes with the Adobe filter before you install it !

Note: It might be necessary to install and re-install this product several times as it doesn't seem to always work first time around.

Note: If the above link to get IFilter no longer works, go to Google; use Advanced Search; Search Word IFilter and restrict your search to www.adobe.com. The link you need should be one of the first few.
