【Bug】 FOXIT not indexing pdf documents in production server

[ArunKrishna]

Hi,
I am having 2 servers ( authoring & production).
In authoring the pdf filter is working fine.All the documents have been indexed.
I did content deployment from authoring to production.Manually uploaded pdf document in production server(for testing).Installed Foxit pdf filter in the production server.When i run the full crawl,pdf documents were not indexed.Instead, the VIEW ITEM page of the document item is indexed.No error in event log or in the MOSS 2007 log file.
Can you help me out on this.

Hi all.
I am finally able to index the documents.
Solution:
Added a value in the registry
Follow these steps...

WSS requires extra registry settings when you install Foxit PDF IFilter. You need to add the following registry entry, and then set the registry entry value to pdf:
HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SOFTWARE\Microsoft\Shared Tools\Web Server Extensions\12.0 \Search\Applications\<GUID>\Gather\Search\Extensio ns\ExtensionList\38

To do this, follow these steps:
a. Click Start, click Run, type regedit, and then click OK.
b. Locate and then click the following registry subkey:
HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SOFTWARE\Microsoft\Shared Tools\Web Server Extensions \12.0\Search\Applications\GUID\Gather\Search\Exten sions\ExtensionList
c. On the Edit menu, point to New, and then click String Value.
d. Type 38, and then press ENTER.
e. Right-click the registry entry that you created, and then click Modify.
f. In the Value data box, type pdf, and then click OK.
