Yes, as long as the text can be parsed. The PDF file format is rather haphazard (one PDF parser vendor indicated, "Some PDFs will simply never parse the way you would expect them to for various reasons. There is NO PDF to text converter in the world that can work with every PDF file ever created. Even Adobe itself cannot convert all PDFs to text properly."). The PDF parser we use works with most files, but I believe that if the text in the PDF file is encrypted or stored in a non-standard format, most tools can't parse text from them.

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)

See these links to set things up (first remove .pdf from all options you've added it to).

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?

We prefer Foxit, but either one should work.
