Author  Topic  otto Starting Member 21 Posts Posted - 2001-01-30 : 19:52:47 I'm using SQL 2000 to store files in a image column and I can create a Full Text Index on the image column (as long as I'm storing the file extension also) and the Full Text Indexing engine (MS Search Engine) will index the content of DOC, XLS, PPT, TXT, and HTM files. I'm working if anyone knows of a way to index PDF files as well. According to Microsoft, you can create a special filter. I know that if you are using MS Index Server, you can download IFilter.exe from Adobe that allows MS Index Server to index PDF files. I want the same solution for MS Search. Anyone else doing something like this? If so, I'd like to hear how it is going for you. Thanks, Otto
