Download the Filter for x64 from adobe
here, if you are using 32 bit it will be installed by default from your adobe installation.

Open the Docicon.xml
Add new entry and replace with the icon image filename “<Mapping Key=”pdf” Value=”filename.gif”/>”

Severely lacking. Need to add Office Server key updates, check the \Search\Setup\Filters keys, and add that you have to do a Full Crawl. Not to mention which Adobe path in the Environmental Variables – the “bin” for that DLL or root of that folder (it’s the root, btw, figured it out later). Spent hours combing the ‘net for all the info.
