I have problems to find PDF content.
I can find it with Windows Indexer and also with our Everything script.
The installed x64 iFilter is PDFlib TET PDF IFilter
https://www.pdflib.com/download/tet-pdf-ifilter/
I use it since many years and it runs fine as can be seen with the Windows search indexer.
XY searches thru 163 *.pdf files in 10 seconds, which I find much to long, but it finds nothing.
Configuration for using iFilters is set to "Use 64-bit iFilters for content search"

Please include the following information:
1) Your XYplorer Version (e.g., v28.00.0801)
2) Your Windows Version (e.g., Win 11)
3) Your Screen Scaling Percentage (e.g., 125%).
We strongly recommend adding your Windows Version and Screen Scaling Percentage to the Location field in your Profile or to your Signature. That way, you only have to type them once, and we won't have to search for that vital information.

Re: Content not found with PDF iFilter
With the TET PDF iFilter the result of text extracttext(); is empty.
If I set the PDF iFilter to SumatraPDF or PDF-XChange it finds text
but still doesn't find the content which is for shure there.

Re: Content not found with PDF iFilter
Not for me, tested with 3 available iFilter modules
Isn't a real problem as I do content searches always with Everything
