Pdf file questions

[woodlander]

I have some questions about pdf files:

1. Is the text of pdf files searched when using a full text search?

2. Is it possible to get a pdf file to appear within the item detail pane?
(I have added the .pdf file extension into various text boxes including the browser but I seem to get some sort of metadata text in the details pane. The pdf file shows up from my Acrobat reader but does not appear in the item detail pane, but above it and when I open another pdf file the previous file shows up at the bottom of the MS Window screen)

3. I am currently using Adobe Reader X. Is it still recommended to download Foxit Reader , now version 4.3, for use in Ultra Recall?

Best wishes and thanks for an what to me is an a mindblowing software application,
