64bit PDF iFilter Update

FoxitSoftware.com has released a x64 (64bit) pdf ifilter! This means that we no longer need to rely on Adobe to make one for us. The ifilter from Foxitsoftware is currently free (hopefully it remains that way)

It can be downloaded at: http://www.foxitsoftware.com/pdf/others/ifilter/

Help me convince Adobe to make a 64bit version of their free PDF ifilter so that we can index pdf documents in 64bit SQL 2005.

2. Give them a call and ask for it!

After many long minutes of digging around on their web site for a phone number that wouldn't require a contract ID, i stumbled on this page:
