More PDF IFilter problems

Hi all,

I'm having some frustrating issues with the PDF IFilter and making it work.
I've read the other posts here, and still haven't been able to figure this
out. I am running SQL Server 2005 Standard 32 bit edition on Windows Server
2003 Standard Edition. I performed the following:

1 - Installed the PDF IFilter v 6.0
2 - Ran EXEC sp_fulltext_service 'load_os_resources', 1
3 - Stopped and restarted the SQL Server service
4 - Ran sys.fulltext_document_types and verified that .pdf was indeed a
valid document type
5 - Built a new full-text catalog and added my table with PDF & other files
(stored as image data type) to the catalog
6 - Fully populated the FT index
7 - Ran my CONTAINS query against that table. I'm able to return results
against Office files, but nothing for PDF files.

So, I'm not sure what I should do at this point. I even tried restarting
the server itself. Somebody (Hilary Cotter?) mentioned that it might be
possible to look at gatherer logs somewhere, but I'm not clear where those
would be. I would appreciate any further suggestions.

Thanks, Jim
