Problem Description

PDF and MSG indexing with SS3
the implementation guide is a little confusing on what ifilters and services are needed for PDF and MSG full text indexing, thumbnail and file property extractions.
Do we need the windows index server, or the windows search?

Solution

For PDF's full text indexing you will need the ifilter 9.0 installed on the server 
For PDF thumbnail and properties you will need Acrobat reader version X installed on server

For message type docs…
