Recently I have installed PDF iFilter on SharePoint multi farm server 2010. Which has one Application Server and Two Web front Servers.
I’ve downloaded 64bit version of PDF iFilter from adobe. You can download this from here (Adobe PDF iFilter 9 for 64bit platforms).
We have to install and configure PDF iFilter on SharePoint Application server instead of Web front servers.
Steps to install and Configurations are
1) Install PDF iFilter on Application Server.
2) Download PDF icon file from pdf16.gif and copy at C:\Program Files\Common Files\Microsoft Shared\Web Server Extensions\14\TEMPLATE\IMAGES\.
3) Add the following entry in docIcon.xml file, which is at C:\Program Files\Common Files\Microsoft Shared\Web Server Extensions\14\TEMPLATE\XML.
4) Add PDF file type on the Manage File Type page under Search Service Application.
Click on New File Type >> add value .pdf
5) Open Registry go to Start > Run > Type regedit
Find >>
