There are numerous articles on this available on Web. But thought to add it into the Blog for my Record.

This article is meant to guide you through the steps that are required to configure Adobe PDF iFilter for SharePoint 2010 / Search Server 2010.

Download the iFilter plugin from Adobe along with the PDF icon

Install the filter, Copy to icon image to the images folder on 14 hive (Template/Images)

Add Mapping configuration to the docIcon.xml under XML folder (Template/XML)

Add PDF file type as a managed file type for Search Service Application.

Central Admin -> Manage Service Applications -> Search Service Application -> File Types link on the left hand navigation bar.

Click on New file type and and add the extension “PDF” (Just PDF without a DOT)

Open Registry editor. Start -> Run -> Regedit

Navigate to HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SOFTWARE\Microsoft\Office Server\14.0\Search\Setup\ContentIndexCommon\Filters\Extension

Right click on “Extension” and select New -> Key. Name the key as “.PDF” (DOT required here).

Now add the GUID {E8978DA6-047F-4E3D-9C78-CDBE46041603} for the (Default) Value Name.

Restart Search service

NET STOP OSearch14 (under command line or from services in administrative tools)

NET START OSearch14

Perform an Incremental / Full Crawl based on your need and we now have the PDF’s in our search results
