[gthomson]

Sorry if this information has been posted already...I did a search but didn't find anything...can anyone tell me about the plug in I need so that PDF documents can be searched within my help files?

thanks in advance

The plugins are available and explained on the Plugins page here:

for some reason the plugin is not installing. I've followed the directions to install on XP to the following directory and I'm using Zoom Version 5. When I run the installer nothing seems to happen?

C:\Documents and Settings\All Users\Application Data\Wrensoft\Zoom Search Engine Indexer\plugins\pdftotext

Oh, yes, the installer package there (and the instructions) are for V6.

For the older V5, you will need to install the individual zipped plugins (unzip each file) to the "plugins" folder under your Zoom installation folder. Typically, this is something like:
C:\Program Files\Zoom Search Engine 5.1\plugins\

Let us know if you still have trouble.
