Hi BParmar

Yes. That error means the file type was not successfully registered. You shouldn’t have to go into the Registry as it is just performing the same step as adding the File Type within the Search Service. But either method will work. The other element to troubleshoot if a filetype icon doesn’t show is to be certain that the DOCICON.XML file is absolutely correct.

Glad it’s all working for you.

Hi Karen. I’ll let the use of a comment for a free advert pass as you’ve kept it short and not over the top

Just to clarify for readers. OCR is not required for text-based PDFs, the PDF iFilter will word-break and index the content, that’s what it is intended for. OCR would be required for hand-writing recognition and text-based TIFF files (e.g. documents scanned as a TIFF instead of as a PDF).

Hi, I am not getting the icon to appear and also the file type shows up as “AcroExch.Document” ; instead of icon picture it’s a broken link and it displays “AcroExch.Document” there also. Thanks.
