Upgrading from Adobe PDF iFilter 9 to Adobe PDF iFilter 11

We have had Adobe PDF iFilter 9 on our SharePoint 2010 for a while and we are wondering if we can upgrade it easily to Adobe PDF iFilter 11 without breaking the indexing of PDF documents and the search?

We had to install Adobe PDF iFilter 9 so that we could index PDFs on our public facing website.

Can anyone tell me if you have Adobe PDF iFilter 11 on a SharePoint 2010 web app / server? 

Did you upgrade from iFilter 9 to 11? 

Were there any issues? 

What impacts did it have on the indexing and the search?

Thank you

Hi There,

Apologies for the late reply, as you are looking to upgrade to Acrobat PDF iFilter 11, we do have the upgrade available, Adobe currently bundles a 32-bit PDF iFillter with Adobe Acrobat 11 as well as the free Adobe Reader 11. It uses the Microsoft iFilter interface and allows third-party indexing tools to extract text from AdobePDF files.

Do let us know if this works for you.

Regards,

Amal

Agree - this needs to be addressed by Adobe ASAP.
