After you install IFilter, restart your machine. I chose to install it to C:\ Program Files\Adobe\PDF IFilter. I found that version 6.0 automatically corrects a registry entry and a DLL registration that had to be manually corrected in version 5.0.įollowing the instructions provided on the Adobe Web site, install IFilter 6.0. (See the IFilter 6.0 download page for details.) If you already have the IFilter 5.0 installed, uninstall it first.

Here's how you can create this snap-in on your local computer: With the MMC snap-in, the search is almost instantaneous. Although you can use Adobe Acrobat Reader to search through PDF files in a specified directory, it takes an extremely long time if that directory is large (e.g., 65MB).

I recently called Microsoft Customer Service and Support (CSS) to help resolve what I thought was an undocumented error.
