Adobe PDF IFilter 9.0 for 64bit

Can't get subject to work under MOSS 2007 64bit.

"IFilter explorer 64bit" shows it correctly enabled under WinFS, but not under Sharepoint 2007 beta. Filtdump gives error. MOSS 2007 search does not find text inside PDf files.

Any ideas? Apart from what was already checked: http://social.technet.microsoft.com/Forums/en-US/sharepointsearch/thread/ba1c7d49-fd71-40c3-a3ab-d594278fd0e2

Check also this black magic for the GUID

Run Regedit by browsing to c:\Windows\system32\regedt32.exe and double-clicking it.

Within left-side tree, browse to: \\HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SOFTWARE\Microsoft\Office Server\12.0\Search\Setup\ContentIndexCommon\Filters\Extension\.pdf

Replace the {4C904448-74A9-11D0-AF6E-00C04FD8DC02} with new GUID i.e. {E8978DA6-047F-4E3D-9C78-CDBE46041603}

Now it seems to be working correctly. Thanks!

the solution is described here:

you need to "grant the account under which you want to operate the "Manage Usage Analytics" permission (from "Personalization services permissions") from within the SSP"
