    Hello Marcus,

    The existing .pdf Ifilters are not compatible with WDS 3.0. Adobe is working on an updated .pdf Ifilter, but I don't have any information on the release date. I'll be letting people on the forum know when that filter becomes available.

    Thank you very much for the info Paul.

    I assume that this is still a problem with Vista RC2 Search as well. We cannot get the indexer to cover PDF file content.

    Is there any word on availability timeframe

    It's really a bit issue. For business things, PDF files are widely used. And the ability of searching PDF files are just why we want to use a desktop search tool.
