  Shain_Omidvaran I'd forgotten about this thread.
  
  Yes we managed to resolve it. If you have Adobe Reader/Acrobat installed it is caused by that.
  
  Log onto the affected AVD Session Host as an admin, Open Control Panel and Index options.
  Select Advanced.
  
  Under File types, search for PDF, it will show that it is Indexing Properties and File Contents.
  Switch this to "Index Properties only".
  
  Issue should then be resolved.
  Not had an official answer from MS but a couple of threads came up with it.

    Has anyone found a resolution for this issue? I've seen several posts for this but no true fixes. The pdf indexing change did not resolve this for me.
    
    Thanks in advance.
