Hi Gabriel-

I tested your files and the Acrobat 6 version does indeed fail on Web
Search 3.0. However, they index fine on Quickfinder *4.0*, which is what
I mistakenly thought you were running when you said "netware 6.5 sp3".
Sorry for that.

In any case, you can upgrade to OES (which is really just NW6.5 sp3 with
the new goodies like iManager 2.5 and Quickfinder 4.0) and then be able
to index your Acrobat 6 PDF.

PDFs are very difficult beasts for Novell to code for, as there are so
many variations and flavors and the "spec" is constantly changing. This
is why the newer versions (eg Quickfinder 4.0) always do a better job
than the prior version(s). According to one of the developers, there are
even more PDFs fixes in OES SP1, which was recently released. If you
need PDFs indexed properly I highly recommend you upgrade to at least
OES, and then SP1 when possible.
