He offers several registry changes to make/confirm, he explains how to restart the Search service, and he offers several helpful troubleshooting steps. Zubair Alexander offers a very thorough article on this issue. Simply put, this article doesn’t cut it either. (I’ll show you in the double quotes section below.) It does correctly remind to restart IIS and to perform a Full Crawl but doesn’t mention restarting the Search Service at all. Fatal flaw: I copied the code there for the section of the docIcon.xml file but it contains the wrong characters. NO! The good news is that the icon there is 16 x 16, which are the correct dimensions. First, it gives the correct url to the Adobe website for downloading the icon but then states to download the 17 x 17 icon. Going back to my Google results, I found this article which makes several mistakes as well but one stands apart. It is correct on the fourth item to perform a Full crawl. And third, there is absolutely no need to create a Test site collection and a document library to see if the PDF icons are working. Besides, wouldn’t rebooting the farm thus restart the Search Service thus making Step 1 unnecessary? Think about it. (I have posted the instructions at the end of this article.)

SharePoint Sharon’s article has a fatal flaw The Microsoft KB article does not sufficeĢ. I’ve broken up this message into five sections since it’s long.ġ. So I’m writing about my adventures to spare you all from the anguish I faced. It took a lot to resolve this issue, which is crazy. Note: you can get a free 6 month trial.I inherited a SharePoint 2010 environment that had the PDF iFilter installed but was not showing the PDF icon for any of the PDF files.
