How to index pdf (Adobe 9) in MOSS 2007?



Hello,

I have done several work on this issue.

Getting Adobe IFilter 9 to work with SharePoint

In earlier days you were required to download Adobe's IFilter as a separate
file. Since Adobe 8.0 it is included within the Adobe Acrobat and Adobe
Reader products. The current version of Adobe Reader is 9.0 includes an
IFilter that is compatible with the latest PDF implementations.

To enable PDF indexing use the following steps:

1. Download Adobe Reader 9.0

2. Add the PDF file type to the Extensions List for WSS search by editing
the registry
Start regedit
Open the key HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SOFTWARE\Microsoft\Shared Tools\Web Server
Extensions\12.0\Search\Applications\{Random
GUID}\Gather\Search\Extensions\ExtensionList

3. Add PDF to the list as a new String Value. Use a new high value e.g. if
37 is the highest value, use "38" as the key with the value "pdf"

4. Add the Acrobat PDF picture to the SharePoint templates directory. Copy
the Acrobat PDF picture called pdficon_small.gif in the 12
Hive\TEMPLATE\IMAGES folder, e.g. %programfiles%\Common Files\Microsoft
Shared\Web Server Extensions\12\TEMPLATE\IMAGES.
Bind the Acrobat PDF picture to the PDF file type
Open the 12 Hive\TEMPLATE\XML\DOCICON.XML file
Find the <DocIcons.ByExtension> part
Add the following mapping:
<mapping Key="pdf" Value="pdficon_small.gif" OpenControl="" />

5. Change IFilter mapping in registry
Start regedit
Open the key HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SOFTWARE\Microsoft\Shared Tools\Web Server
Extensions\12.0\Search\Setup\ContentIndexCommon\Filters\Extension\
Add (or modify) the .pdf key

6. Add a Multi-String value with value
{E8978DA6-047F-4E3D-9C78-CDBE46041603} or modify if another GUID value
already exists.
Open the key HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SOFTWARE\Microsoft\Office
Server\12.0\Search\Setup\ContentIndexCommon\Filters\Extension\
Add (or modify) the .pdf key
Add a Multi-String value with value {E8978DA6-047F-4E3D-9C78-CDBE46041603}
or modify if another GUID value already exists.
7. Add the Adobe Reader folder to the environment path variable
Right Click on My Computer
Open Properties
Open the Advanced tab
Go to the Environment variables
Edit the Path variable
Add your Reader folder to the Path list, e.g. C:\Program Files\Adobe\Reader
9.0\Reader
8. Restart the Search service by restarting your server or executing the
following commands:
Run: net stop osearch
Run: net start osearch

Still I am getting following error.

Error : http://ots1dc0sppa:100/sites/...k_feb2000_bcbs69.pdf
Crawled (The filtering process could not process this item. This might be
because you do not have the latest file filter for this type of item. Install
the corresponding filter and retry your crawl. )

Can you please help me out with this issue.
