Adobe iFilter 5 & SQL Server 2000 full text indexing of PDFs?

hi all! i'm new and hoping you might help me - have searched E V E R Y W H E R E for this answer!!

--my ASP program is running on IIS box (call it "Lucy")

--my ASP program connects to SQL Server 2000 db on another box (call it "Linus") consisting of .doc, .xls, .PDF and the like

--all's well EXCEPT when PDFs are returned! sometimes browser gives blank screen instead of PDF <?> i figure iFilter will "cure" this.

--question:
WHICH SERVER should iFilter be installed on? Lucy (where IIS is running & ASP program is) or Linus (where SQL Server does its full text indexing)?

thanks in advance for any & all help!!
geekgirlYou will have to install IFilter on the box that runs index server. I am not sure why you should be worried about SQL server when you searching documents from a folder.

Are ur documents stored in a database?|||Originally posted by vibhu

sorry, YES docs are stored directly in the SQL db. iFilter says to install it "where the index server is" -- but i don't know if that means the *** IIS Index Server*** or the ***SQL Server**** which is doing the full text indexing. <??>
