Excerpt from the Lotus Notes and Domino Release 6.5.4 and 6.0.5 MR fix list
(available at http://www.ibm.com/developerworks/lotus/):
Full-text indexing
SPR# FBEE4SVURB - Adobe .pdf files were not being full text indexed. This
problem has been fixed in 6.0.5 and 6.5.4. This regression was introduced in
6.0.
Indexing for Adobe .pdf files is handled by a third-party filter. It appears
that both .pdf versions 1.2 and 1.3 will work as long as security options are
set to "Allow selecting text and graphics" AND there is no security password
setting.
To check this in Acrobat, from the File menu, choose Document Properties -->
Description. The relevant information is in the .PDF Version field.
Adobe PDF 1.4 support
It was originally documented that Notes/Domino 6 releases supported Adobe .pdf
1.4. However, research by IBM Quality Engineering and Verity later found that
the filter did not work as expected for all the content variations within the
file type and, as a result, it is no longer documented as a supported file
type. There may be variations of the file type that will work as expected but
this does not mean that all variations will work. Also the Adobe Acrobat
release used to save the 1.4 .pdf file, as well as the Notes release used to
index the attachment, can also result in variations in behavior. For additional
information on this topic, refer to Document #1188610, "Not all .PDF version 1
documents are supported for full text indexing."
