Indexing PDFs for Windows Search on Vista x64

approximately 1 minutes to read

Ever wondered why your x64 Vista sucks at indexing PDF files, even when you installed the Adobe Reader? The reason is simple: The reader has only a 32bit filter for the Windows Search, which does not work on Vista x64, so the desktop search cannot look inside the PDF files. The fix is equally simple, go and get the x64 PDF IFilter, which allows you to finally index all those PDFs.
