Windows 10 File Explorer - Won't search file contents of PDF files & Preview Pane not working

There are two problems but I'm sure they are related.

I cannot search the file contents of PDF documents in File Explorer. I've checked and index settings are correct for searching the contents of pdf files.
In File Explorer the Preview Pane says 'This file cannot be previewed'. Again Acrobat Reader DC is the default PDF handler and the relevant settings are correct to me knowledge.

This used to work fine so I'm not sure what's happened.

I've tried reinstalling the software.

Please help this is driving me mad!!!!!

Thanks

Rob
