I have setup Document Exchange and added numerous pdf files. These are not showing up in the DNN search results however. How to I accomplish this? Also, where are these files stored within DNN?

If you look at previous threads, you will see that you are not alone with problems with searching pdf files. You need to make sure that you have installed the Adobe iFilter (and perhaps some others as well). Download the Adobe iFilter (from Adobe) and also the Microsoft Office Filter Pack and install them. Make sure your site is set to Medium Trust. Is your site on a hosted cloud server?

I am on a shared hosting plan and do not have access to the server.

You may not get that to work then. Content search depends on (1) file type and (2) the server's ability to "unpack" that file type. You'll probably find that .txt files are indexed. Then it is really an issue of the PDF iFilter not being present. Peter

About Bring2mind

Bring2mind is the company of Peter Donker, a DotNetNuke enthusiast who has been involved with the platform from the very beginning. At the same time as the market for modules emerged, he realized there was no good document management solution for the platform yet and he set about creating this. In part he based the module on his experience with other document management systems he used while working as a researcher. His module, Document Exchange, was an instant success and has since become the premier document management solution for DotNetNuke. In 2004 he created Bring2mind as a vehicle for the module and is one of the few successful businesses solely based on a DotNetNuke product.
