I was working on SharePoint Portal Server 2003 PDF IFilter for one of our Client. So i found these guides to instal lin ton SharePoint 2007.
Here are the instructions for installing the PDF IFilter 6.0 on a SharePoint 2007 server to allow PDF files to be indexed (full text) by the Search and for the icon to be shown next to PDF documents.
- Download Adobe PDF IFilter 6.0
- Stop the IIS Admin service: Start -> Run -> services.msc -> IIS Admin Service -> Stop
- Run the Adobe PDF IFilter 6.0 Setup program to install the filter on the server.
- Copy the ICPDF.GIF file to "C:\Program Files\Common Files\Microsoft Shared\Web Server Extensions\12\Template\Images"
- Edit the file C:\Program Files\Common Files\Microsoft Shared\Web server extensions\12\Template\Xml\DOCICON.XML
- Add an entry for the .pdf extension.
<Mapping Key="pdf" Value="icpdf.gif"/>
- Add an entry for the .pdf extension.
- Perform an iisreset or recycle the SharePoint Application Pools
- Add the .pdf file type to the index list:
- Go to Central Administration, then to the Shared Services Administration Web of the current SSP, go to Search Settings and next to File Type
- Add a new file type pdf
- Perform a Full Update on the Search content indexes
Note: The ICPDF.GIF file is attached to the post.
