Setup and configuration. In order to give you full control over the use of filters in SQL
Server, the installer does not automatically register TET PDF IFilter in any instance of
SQL Server. Instead, you must manually register TET PDF IFilter according to the steps
below. Regardless of the selected method, you must configure the IFilter separately for
all instances of SQL Server. Two different configuration methods are available which are
detailed below.
Details for configuration method 1. This method instructs SQL Server to access IFilters
which are installed system-wide. Since the installer of TET PDF IFilter registers the
IFilter DLL in the system, this is a convenient method for evaluation. However, it creates
a dependency on system settings and should therefore be used with caution in production
environments. Proceed as follows:
> Install TET PDF IFilter from the MSI package.
> Run SQL Server Management Studio and execute the following statement to make
the system-wide document filters available to this instance of SQL Server:
exec sp_fulltext_service 'load_os_resources', 1;
GO
Details for configuration method 2. This method configures TET PDF IFilter for a particular
instance of SQL Server without any system dependencies. It requires more steps
than method 1, but provides more control for production systems. Proceed as follows:
> Install TET PDF IFilter from the MSI package. This step will not register the IFilter
with SQL Server, but is required to make sure that the IFilter license key will be available
in the registry.
> Identify the instance number from the instance name by navigating to the following
key in the registry:
HKLM\SOFTWARE\Microsoft\Microsoft SQL Server\Instance Names
For example, the instance called SQL will have the following entry:
HKLM\SOFTWARE\Microsoft\Microsoft SQL Server\Instance Names\SQL
"MSSQLSERVER"="MSSQL.1"
This means that the instance called SQL uses the directory MSSQL.1 in the next step.
> Locate the TET PDF IFilter DLL, which can be found at a path similar to the following:
C:\Program Files\PDFlib\TET PDF IFilter 4.0\bin\TETPDFIFilter.dll
