No worries. The link is still good. Just my VPN blocked the MSI file. Now it's OK. Thanks! ]]> https://www.fileseek.ca/Discussions/View/pdf-file-handler-and-other/?ID=58b8e13f-9961-47dd-91f9-879413b6900e#5 Fri, 27 Feb 2026 08:46:23 GMT Binary Fortress Software https://www.fileseek.ca/Discussions/View/pdf-file-handler-and-other/?ID=58b8e13f-9961-47dd-91f9-879413b6900e#5 FileSeek Hello,
In the meantime, I saw this
https://learn.microsoft.com/en-us/answers/questions/4019417/pdf-ifilter-no-longer-connected-to-windows-11-sear?page=1#answers
which only adds to my confusion. Is there an easy fix to this within the context of FileSeek?
Thanks! ]]> https://www.fileseek.ca/Discussions/View/pdf-file-handler-and-other/?ID=58b8e13f-9961-47dd-91f9-879413b6900e#4 Fri, 27 Feb 2026 06:55:21 GMT Binary Fortress Software https://www.fileseek.ca/Discussions/View/pdf-file-handler-and-other/?ID=58b8e13f-9961-47dd-91f9-879413b6900e#4 FileSeek Hello,
After that last answer from you worked for me a few years ago, I got a new PC with Win11 64 bit, and am facing the same problem, namely, FileSeek claims there is no file handler for PDF files. I looked at this old link you provided, but it refers back to itself now, so I still need an installable PDF file handler. Do you know if there is an updated link? Thanks a lot!

No worries about the .nb. Actually if I turn off the handler deature it can read the .nb file to some extent. Not too bad. ]]> https://www.fileseek.ca/Discussions/View/pdf-file-handler-and-other/?ID=58b8e13f-9961-47dd-91f9-879413b6900e#2 Fri, 30 Sep 2022 14:33:22 GMT Binary Fortress Software https://www.fileseek.ca/Discussions/View/pdf-file-handler-and-other/?ID=58b8e13f-9961-47dd-91f9-879413b6900e#2 FileSeek Hi Yu,

You can find a list of known working file handlers, including a PDF file handler, here: https://www.fileseek.ca/FAQ/#KnownWorkingFileHandlersinFileSeek

I did a quick serach for a .NB file handler, but I couldn't seem to find one ]]> https://www.fileseek.ca/Discussions/View/pdf-file-handler-and-other/?ID=58b8e13f-9961-47dd-91f9-879413b6900e Thu, 29 Sep 2022 23:48:36 GMT Binary Fortress Software https://www.fileseek.ca/Discussions/View/pdf-file-handler-and-other/?ID=58b8e13f-9961-47dd-91f9-879413b6900e FileSeek Hello,
I just realized that there is no file handler for file type PDF in my FileSeek installaition. As a result I cannot search by specifying text strings.
I have the Pro 6.7 version. Is there a good way to download a valid PDF handler?
Also is there a handler for Mathematica notebooks with type extension "NB"?
