There were problems with the PDF iFilters in version 10 and higher.  Remove the v11 PDF iFilters and then get and install Acrobat Reader 9.

I have installed http://www.adobe.com/support/downloads/thankyou.jsp?ftpID=5542&fileID=5550

Pdf Ifilter on both the client and server . But the problem still persists. 

Any clue ?

I called support ,i was told to submit troubleshooting details here  and this is what happened 

1) I was asked to post on answers.laserfiche.com  (which i already did) . Tech support doesn't provide support of sdk programming (makes sense)

2) Tech support talked with the dev and was giving me instructions

2) I have installed ifilter (both 32 and 64 bit) on my client and i told support that. 32 bit ifilter comes with adobe reader itself according to this documentation   http://www.adobe.com/support/downloads/detail.jsp?ftpID=5542 .

and 64 bit is installed from the same above link.

3) Find out whether ifilter is loading . To do that i was asked to enable logging on my client machine. 

   I was told to enable both 32 and 64 bit logging (Just to make sure) . The log file is created in C:\logs but the log      file   is empty

  HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SOFTWARE\Wow6432Node\Laserfiche\TextProvider ---32 bit

 HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SOFTWARE\Laserfiche\TextProvider --64 bit

32 bit 

Hi Bert,

            Thank you for the reply. I installed reader 9 . But there are a couple issues with it

 1) It extracts text but i can't see the document in the electronic file pane . I took some steps to troubleshoot that , which are as follows 

                1a) I made sure that in tools--> options -->view -->open with --> open pdf files                           by default    using -- > The laserfiche document viewer   option is checked

                1b)  I made sure that in tools--> options -->view -->open with --> electronic file                           pane --> Show PDF files in the electronic file pane option is checked

                1c) I checked that ie 11 has adobe reader addon installed. I also enabled and                                 disabled it

                1d) I also checked "display pdf in browser " option is selected in adobe reader -->                         preferences   --> Internet

2) The second thing is its a security issue if i ask the IT department to install software that's two versions old on the end users computer.

3) Its inconvenient to use an external application to open the pdf when the metadata and the text are a part of the laserfiche document viewer ( hence the metadata and the text can't be seen using an external application which is very counter productive )

Any thoughts ?

---Thanks 

For the benefit of other readers, unfortunately, Tushars issue is not specific to SDK but with his client install.   He has opened a Support case for his client issue.

Update: I have installed the latest version of the client and i am using the latest sdk. I can do the extract text using the client , but i still cannot do the extract text using the sdk. 

The text attraction works using the laserfiche client (latest) using both

1) native text extraction and 2) extraction using pdf ifilter  (See image for details)

I have pdf ifilter 9 (64 bit) with adobe reader 11 installed. 

Here is the code that i am using for the sdk

using (DocumentInfo doc = new DocumentInfo(mySess))
                {
                    
                    try
                    {
                        //Check if the destination folder exists
                        folderdocentryinfo = Entry.TryGetEntryInfo(laserfichedestinationfolder, mySess);
                        if (folderdocentryinfo != null)
                        {
                            //Create a document in the destination folder

                            doc.Create(laserfichedestinationfile, "DEFAULT", EntryNameOption.AutoRename);
                            folderdocentryinfo.Lock(LockType.Shared);
                            DocumentImporter DI = new DocumentImporter();
                            DI.Document = doc;
                            //Doesn't work
                            DI.ExtractTextFromEdoc = true;
                            docid = doc.Id;
                            //Import the local file into the laserfiche document
                            DI.ImportEdoc(System.Web.MimeMapping.GetMimeMapping(Path.GetFileName(localfilepath)), localfilepath);

                   
                             
                            
                        }
                    }
                    catch (Exception e)
                    {
                        throw e;
                    }
                    finally
                    {
                        if (folderdocentryinfo != null)
                            folderdocentryinfo.Unlock();
                        if (documententryinfo != null)
                            documententryinfo.Unlock();

                    }
                }

Any ideas ?

Using the iFilter 5, the SDK text extraction works (except for one file that may have been a bad file, we will monitor)

The computer running the application is 64 bit, but the application is compiled as 32 bit and Outlook/Office is 32 bit.  This should be a supported configuration for us.

We are able to have the iFilter 5 installed along with a later version of Adobe Acrobat.
