Secondary problem: this Topic has 692 pages ; it is unmanageable. Is there anything that could be done about it? Split it off as a seperate Forum?
Tercary problem: giving "pdf" as a string to search only this Forum returns all pages! Is there a known problem with Search; it never works very discriminately for me . . .
Go to the ACP -> Extensions -> Extension Group Control. PDF is part of the "Documents" Extension Group, and by default is not allowed by default. Put the check in the box to allow it and make sure "inlined" for the "Download Mode".

PHP by default (IIRC) excludeds 3 or less character search strings.
