I came across some more information on registering iFilters with WSS v3 and MOSS 2007. It's a little more involved with registry settings, but it's from a blog on MSDN: http://blogs.msdn.com/ifilter/archive/2006/11/20/registering-third-party-ifilters-in-wss-moss-2007.aspx

If you haven't gotten an answer to your question yet regarding PDF iFilter and SharePoint 2007, the answer is yes.

Download Adobe PDF IFilter 6.0
Stop the IIS Admin service: Start -> Run -> services.msc -> IIS Admin Service -> Stop
Run the Adobe PDF IFilter 6.0 Setup program to install the filter on the server.
Copy the ICPDF.GIF file to "C:\Program Files\Common Files\Microsoft Shared\Web Server Extensions\12\Template\Images"
Edit the file C:\Program Files\Common Files\Microsoft Shared\Web server extensions\60\Template\Xml\DOCICON.XML
1. Add an entry for the .pdf extension.
  <Mapping Key="pdf" Value="icpdf.gif"/>
Perform an iisreset or recycle the SharePoint Application Pools
Add the .pdf file type to the index list:
Go to Central Administration, then to the Shared Services Administration Web of the current SSP, go to Search Settings and next to File Type
Add a new file type pdf
Perform a Full Update on the Search content indexes

Hello, has anyone setup the search for pdf files on SPS 2007 Beta 2? Do I need to install the pdf ifilter 6.0 on the sql server like I would for WSS 2.0? I appreciate the help!
