PDF text extraction

[nikos]

those of you using the recommended adobe download (IFilter v5) to see plain text previews in xplorer2 previewer will most probably know that it is a bit cr@p locking the PDF files it previews

by accident i stumbled upon the older version 4.1, which seems to be working fine, no locking, and is smaller too!

please have a go (you must uninstall the other filter you have first from control panel) and tell me if you find any problems. If not, we'll have this as the official recommendation.

(but there could be problems with asian languages? i didn't check the doublebyte download mentioned above)
