Adobe PDF iFilter 9 for 64-bit platforms does not index my PDF files in SQL server database
hi all
I need your help
i have this asp.net site which works with sql server
it searches a specific word in the database with full text search
in my database i have a column of type image that holds a PDF file
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
can you tell me if there are problems with some environments ?
are there any known problems with this Ifilter ?
what should i do ..
