SharePoint 2010 does not Index PDF Files

Valid on all operating systems

Symptom:

When I perform the knowledge search through the Federated Search crawler, the PDF files that the crawler sends to the SharePoint 2010 does not get indexed.

Solution:

SharePoint 2010 does not have a PDF filter and cannot process the PDF files. So, you do not get the content of these PDF files in the search results. Install the fix that is mentioned in the KB_Article.
