Here are some steps need to be aware of:
- To have PDF icon in the doc lib, you still need to manually copy and paste the pdf icon image into the TEMPLATE > IMAGES folder, and map the image file with the file type in the DOCICON.XML file (in TEMPLATE > XML folder).
- To crawl contents of PDF files, we need to install Adobe PDF IFilter 6.0 (download free).
