I cannot get it to work – still no PDF preview..

to bad that I cannot remember how to get the prevously version of WDS to show PDF preview
with Ifilter 6.0 / Foxit Ifilter (got it to work on the laptop, but still no luck with my desktop)

Any solutions on the preview of PDF (non-OCR) and WDS

winXP pro 32bit
BTW, the bundled ifilter w/ reader 8.0 is
labeled v6.0, which is
the same as the filter you can download
from acrobat.

Are you running on a 64-bit OS? The Adobe IFilter is currently 32-bit only.

Forgot to add that I have the pdf ifilter set
to index properties and file contents, but
it is still not indexing the PDF contents.

This came up first for a search of WDS and pdf ifilter, so I thought I would
add a comment and installation directions. The indexing of pdf titles and the
preview screen now works with Adobe Reader 8 and WDS3, but it is still not
indexing the CONTENTS of the pdf files (at least not on winXP). Is this working
for you?

Install directions…
Make sure to uninstall any pdf ifilter’s before installing adobe 8.
after installing adobe 8, restart your computer.
the new ifilter will be installed automatically upon restart
and should correctly index your pdf files.

If you can’t preview the pdf in the preview screen, you may need to
reindex your files.
