DWF IFilter

DWF IFilter is a plug-in that allows Microsoft Search products and services to index DWF (Design Web Format) and DWFx files, enabling customers to search and organize their content.

It extends Microsoft Indexing Service to extract metadata and content from DWF files. DWF IFilter supports DWF 6.x, WHIP! and DWF 3D formats. For better integration with Microsoft applications DWF IFilter also outputs common office document properties such as 'DocTitle,' 'DocKeywords,' 'DocCreatedTm' and others.

DWF IFilter supports Internet Information Server, SharePoint Portal Server, Windows SharePoint Services (WSS), Site Server, Exchange, SQL Server and all other products based on Microsoft Search technology. When installed on Windows desktop operating systems DWF IFilter seamlessly integrates with MSN Desktop Search, Indexing Service, and Windows File Search.

DWF IFilter is easily configurable for custom DWF metadata mapping. Metadata mapping allows to output selected DWF properties under different names, and also to change their property types if needed. For example, DWF metadata "Model #" of VT_LPWSTR type can be outputted as a property named "ModelNumber" of VT_INT type.

When integrated with Windows search, DWF iFilter uses a temporary folder to process DWF files. Due to windows Search security restrictions, the filters are not capable of using the standard system temporary destination. That's why the app needs to work with a user-specified temporary folder.
