I'm more familiar with Oracle, which will index a PDF as long as the text is actually text (OCR'd or otherwise). If SQL server can index a PDF doc, then it will be the same.
Any tool that is going to index an encrypted doc needs to decrypt it to do so, or you need to index the doc before encryption. Either way, the index will be unencrypted so it will reveal the contents of your encrypted docs on inspection (albeit in an obscure way).

Are there non-native products that can index encrypted docs? -- CFAJAX docs and other useful articles: http://jr-holmes.coldfusionjournal.com/ ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~| Message: http://www.houseoffusion.com/lists.cfm/link=i:4:242059 Archives: http://www.houseoffusion.com/cf_lists/threads.cfm/4 Subscription: http://www.houseoffusion.com/lists.cfm/link=s:4 Unsubscribe: http://www.houseoffusion.com/cf_lists/unsubscribe.cfm?user=11502.10531.4 Donations & Support: http://www.houseoffusion.com/tiny.cfm/54
