Adobe Reader XI & iFilter indexing

In Adobe Reader X they removed the ability to do iFilter indexing from the Windows Indexing services of PDF files.  To get around this you had to install Adobe Reader 9.x on 32bit systems or the iFilter 9 on 64bit systems.

Does anyone know if Adobe Reader XI follows the same stance of not exposing its iFilters to the Windows Indexing service?  I've done some searching but this answer does not seem to exist yet where I can find it.

Leith, have you installed this filter? I just did and it (having serious problems with PDF search yet again in Document Exchange), and it seemed to make matters worse, not better.

Hi,

IFilter to Windows Indexing service are added back Reader XI. IFilters are available even with the latest updates of Reader X (were added abck in 10.1). These are 32-bit ifilters and only works on 32-bit plaforms.

Thanks

Manish

I know there were issues with the iFilter being exposed to the Windows Search Indexer however with 10.1 have those been corrected with 11?  We've been relying on 9.x to do PDF indexing with because of the 10 fiasco.
