Incredible! Foxit ifilter doesn't index pdf content

[robix73]

Hello To everybody.
I'm using win 2003 x64 edition and MOOS. I installed for a test the foxit filter x64 edition.I followed exactly the install instructions.

I created some little pdf files from some word files, using adobe distiller and no protection was set; in the pdf files all is set 'to allow' .

When i ask for full recrawl or incremental recrawl, when I do some searches for content, I cannot find my pdf files. If I query for a word that match the filename or a part of it I can see my pdf files withe the pdf red icon.

Where Ca I start to debug this?
Is better to unistall Foxit filter and try the new adobe x64 ifilter?
Any suggestion?
Regards
Roberto Gerlando

Could you help to check whether PDF files have been crawled successful?
Please following the steps in MOSS user manual page 10 to Page 12, to check crawl logs?

If PDF files haven't been crawled , could you help to send us the error message?
If PDF files have been crawled successful, and you still couldn't search contents, could you please help to send us the sample files which couldn't be search?
If the files are confident, please send it to support@foxitsoftware.com, we will only used it for test.

Thank you for your understanding.

Hello AmyLin
please can you correct the title of my Thread?
I solved the issue following the instruction given, step by step.
In the first moment it doesn't work because I tryed the 64 bit version of adobe filter and it seems that it locked the foxit filter.
Now the foxit filter works but another issue is in progress.
I'm using monster pdf files filled with text, not images; all the text is fully searcheable and the size of my pdf files is at least 200 mb and each of them has at least 20k pages.
It seems that the foxit filter has a limit, it cannot index files bigger (or that produces more text) than ~150 MB. Is it true?
Do not suggest the maxdownloadsize or maxgrowfactor; I know very well those registry keys and in the forum I was the first talking about these registry keys.

Dear Gerlando,

Thank you for your feedback.
Foxit didn't limit the file size. I think the they are control by index service.

Most of the registry entries for Indexing Service are found under the key

HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SYSTEM\CurrentControlSet\Contro l\
ContentIndex.

The DefaultColumnFile entry is found under the key

HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SYSTEM\CurrentControlSet\Contro l\
ContentIndexCommon.

And I think "MaxTextFilterBytes" is relate to your issue.

Could you help to go to the following link go get more informations about it:

The fault wasn't of the FOXIT PDF Filter.
FOXIT PDF Filter works Great; here I wrote how I solved this issue

The fault is in the limit of registry entries of Sharepoint Server (Moss2007) or Search Server (MSS2008EX).

I Ask the administrator of this forum to correct the title of this post in for example ' How to bypass Sharepoint 2007 (or Search Server 2008) limits '.

I was able to index a pdf long 58k pages (and the standard says that a pdf file cannot be longer of 32767 pages).
Best regards to all
Thank you Fox it for the great filter.
