FiltDump.exe Errors

Hi All
I cannot get Filtdump.exe to run. I have a server where MS SQL FullText
search is working perfectly (PDF, Office, HTML etc.) but when I run
FiltDump.exe on one of the PDFs I the following message:
C:\>temp\Filtdump.exe test.pdf
FILE: test.pdf
load filter search log++++:
Error 0xc0000005 loading IFilter
I copied tquery.dll and dFastlog.dll into the temp folder to get it to
at least run. We have Windowss 2003 Server but SPS is not installed.
Can anyone suggest a solution?

Jack the fact that it works on most PDFs and other documents indicates a
problem with this doc. Can you open it up in a text editor to see if its
mainly binary or mainly text - most PDFs contain text formating and are
readable in a text editor.

I can't get Filtdump.exe to work on any pdfs - even those which are
happily indexed by MS SQL. I am wondering if I installed filtdump
correctly.

|||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.
