Consider the following scenario. You install Adobe Reader 8.0 on a computer
that is running Microsoft Office SharePoint Server 2007. On the Manage File
Types page, you click Add File Type under Configure Search Settings. Then, you
add the .pdf file type. On the Manage Content Sources page, you click Full
Crawl in the Local Office SharePoint sites list.
In this scenario, when you try to search for Adobe Reader files (.pdf), the
.pdf files cannot be found. Additionally, the .pdf files are not listed in the
crawl log.
This issue occurs because the Adobe filter .dll file (AcroRdIF.dll) depends on
the AcroRd32.dll and AGM.dll files. These files are located in the
Drive_Letter:\Program Files\Adobe\Acrobat 8.0\Reader folder. Because the
Drive_Letter:\Program Files\Adobe\Acrobat 8.0\Reader path is not included in
the system path on the computer that is running SharePoint Server 2007, the
SharePoint Server 2007 Search service cannot locate the .pdf files.
WORKAROUND
To work around this issue, add the Drive_Letter:\Program Files\Adobe\Acrobat
8.0\Reader path to the system path on the computer that is running SharePoint
Server 2007. To do this, follow these steps:
1. Click Start, click Control Panel, and then double-click
System.
2. In the System Properties dialog box, click the Advanced
tab, and then click Environment Variables.
3. In the Environment Variables dialog box, double-click Path
in the System Variables area.
4. In the Edit System Variable dialog box, put the cursor at
the end of the text in the Variable value box, and then type
;Drive_Letter:\Program Files\Adobe\Acrobat 8.0\Reader.
5. Click OK three times.
