I am getting the following error when rebuilding a catalog containing a table with a stored PDF (it does work for Word documents).
Warning: No appropriate filter was found during full-text index population for table or indexed view '[Test].[dbo].[Table_1]' (table or indexed view ID '2105058535', database ID '6'), full-text key value '911'. Some columns of the row were not indexed.
I followed the installation procedures from Adobe and ran the following commands:
EXEC sp_fulltext_service @action='load_os_resources', @value=1; -- update os resources
EXEC sp_fulltext_service 'verify_signature', 0 -- don't verify signatures
EXEC sp_fulltext_service 'update_languages'; -- update language list
EXEC sp_fulltext_service 'restart_all_fdhosts'; -- restart daemon
EXEC sp_help_fulltext_system_components 'filter'; -- view active filters
The last does return the correct filter path:
filter .pdf E8978DA6-047F-4E3D-9C78-CDBE46041603 C:\Program Files\Adobe\Adobe PDF iFilter 11 for 64-bit platforms\bin\PDFFilter.dll 11.0.1.36 Adobe Systems, Inc.
I have added the path to "C:\Program Files\Adobe\Adobe PDF iFilter 11 for 64-bit platforms\bin\ (and verified that it does work)" and verified that it works.
I have re-started the services (even rebooted the machine). I also I verified by running the filtdump.exe that comes with the Windows SDK to verify that the filter does work OUTSIDE of SQL Server 2008 R2.
I also I have re-configured the sql server services so they run with an admin account (in case the problem is related to permissions).
Lastly, I have tried on several machines (some running with the SP1) and same result. No problems registering the DLL... SQL Server simply does not call the filter. Note that I have tried uploading a document to the same table with an "unknown" extension (e.g. ".xyz") and I get the same result... It is like if ".pdf" was an extension not registered (however it is).
Any suggestion?
Thanks
