Coldfusion MX7 Verity index

Question

HiI have an older verision of CF.  MX7 7,0,2.   It is running great and supports all of our users.The one issue I recently noticed is that the verity collections do not index any document pass adobe 6.I researched this issue and found that anything later than 6.0 apears to be unsupported in the MX7 verity indexing.Out of 3000 documents I am missing 800 that are newer and won't index due to being unsupported file types.Does anyone know if there is an update or fix to allow MX7 to index adobe files later than version 6.0I hate to buy a whole new version of CF, but may have to.---- bryan

Well. CFMX7 is out of support now, so there aren't going to be any more hotfixes, unless something really really dire comes up by way of security hole. But you really ought to have already migrated upwards.

And Verity doesn't exist at all as far as "live" software goes. It's dead. And has been since 2005 (before PDF v6.0 came out).

So I don't like your chances.

That said, depending on the architecture, the document filters might be third-party extensions so perhaps subsequent versions of CF might have filters for later versions of CF, even if it's the same old "death knell" version of Verity shipped with CF8 & CF9 (it won't be shipped with CF10 at all).

All the hotfixes for CFMX7 are listed here:

I didn't look through them, but you can see if they mention anything.

CF8 is a much better product than CFMX7, much much much faster if nothing else. CF9 is an improvement again of CF8 obviously. You should upgrade.
