Installing pdf Ifilter for SharePoint 2010

Installing pdf Ifilter for SharePoint 2010 150 150 Sameer Mohammed

Got it done last night and verified that the crawling worked, the process is pretty much the same as SharePoint 2007 and here is info :

1. there seem to be several pdf ifilters and below are the most popular ones

a.Adobe IFilter for 64 bit: http://www.adobe.com/support/downloads/detail.jsp?ftpID=4025
( comes free of charge)

b.FOX IFilter: http://www.foxitsoftware.com/pdf/ifilter/
(Seems more optimized and so obviously there is a price to pay)

2. I used the Adobe ifilter and instead of retyping I will point to the blog that I followed:
