Hi,
After spending (way too much) time trying to get the Adobe IFilter working inside our MOSS environment, I decided to download Foxit to see if that would fix our issues. Basically, no matter what we did (and what documentation we followed) it just wouldn't work. It would display this message for each PDF file in the crawl log:
Crawled (The filtering process could not load the item. This is possibly caused by an unrecognized item format or item corruption. )
So I uninstalled Adobe, and installed Foxit. Reset osearch and spsearch services and ran an IISreset. Cleared my content index and ran a full crawl. Same message.
Then, from Central Admin, I removed indexing services and readded. I uninstalled and reinstalled Foxit and this time I rebooted the box. Reset content and ran a crawl. Same message.
Then, I uninstalled Foxit and completely removed Office SharePoint Server Search, Windows Sharepoint Services Help Search, and ran the Sharepoint technology wizard on our index server, basically reinstalling all SharePoint files to that server. I rebooted. When it came back up, I readded both Search services (with a brand new Search DB) and reinstalled Foxit. Cleared all content and ran a full crawl. Same Message.
Using the Adobe iFilter documentation as a guide, I've gone through and looked at all of the reg locations where the iFilter GUID lives and there doesn't appear to be any remnants of the Adobe filter anywhere. There also aren't any Adobe files left. But I have a feeling that there might be something else at the server level that I'm just not seeing.
Has anyone ever encountered something like this?
