Well Jack, I can get it working on some and not on others - I don't get an
error code though. I understand that some PDFs are largely textual, where
others have mainly binary content in them i.e. gifs, bmps, and jpgs. So
perhaps this is your problem.
FiltDump uses Indexing Services components to work off - perhaps this is
another problem - it does not require Indexing Services to be running, and I
am not even sure if it needs it to be installed.
