In that station, I will make a brief reassessment of the province of 64-bit PDF iFilters for the Microsoft platform ( this effectuates SharePoint ). There hold been a duo things hap in the last few years that I only desired to indicate out.

Firstly, permit me reexamine the aim of an ifilter briefly for those who may not be cognisant. For Microsoft hunting wares, an ifilter permits the indexer to read different file formattings. So a PDF ifilter permits a Microsoft hunting merchandise to open Adobe PDF registers so that can be indexed and sought. Too, if you are running the MS Hunting Merchandise on 64-bit platform, you desire to run a 64-bit ifilter for performance and supportability grounds.

Until this month, in my view, the only production ready option for a 64-bit ifilter was offered by FoxIt Package. There are two things that hold happed that I desired to show out for your reassessment.

1. Eventually, Adobe has released a 64-bit PDF ifilter
   Their filter is free.


2. FoxIt Software has released an update to their 64-bit PDF ifilter
   this month. There is a charge for their ifilter if you are using on a server (free for desktop use)
   

So if you are utilise FoxIt already, clip to update your filter next maculation round. If you ask an ifilter, you may inquire, `` Why olympian games would I utilize the FoxIt Package solution I should purchase now that Adobe holds a free version? '' There hold been tryouts maked to exhibit that antecedently, the FoxIt ifilters ( even 32-bit ) done better than the Adobe solution. I cognize the FoxIt version is multi-threaded. I make not cognise the capablenesses of the free Adobe version yet.

So for Production environments, I would inquire you to still reckon the FoxIt solution. But if you ca n't afford it, there is an choice now. As more testing is maked with these filter solutions, hopefully we will hold more info to do a conclusion.

If you necessitate assistance installling the ifilters, here are some links that will aid:
