PDF iFilter on WSS?

I have installed the Adobe PDF iFilter on our WSS server.
1 - How WSS knows about the PDF iFilter installation.
2 - Is there any place on "Central Admin" to add the PDF file type?
3 - Any place to add the PDF icon?
4 - Do I have to rebuild all my Full-Text Catalogs?
5 - Any reported major problems
6 - Anything else I have to do to get things working properly?
Does the following help:
To specify the .gif file that you want to use for the icon that represents
Adobe PDF documents that are stored in Windows SharePoint Services document
libraries, follow these steps:
Copy the .gif file that you want to use for the icon to the following folder
on the server:
C:\Program Files\Common Files\Microsoft Shared\Web Server
Extensions\60\Template\Images
Edit the Docicon.xml file to include the .pdf file name extension. To do so:
Start Notepad, and then open the Docicon.xml file. The Docicon.xml file is
located in the following folder on the server:
C:\Program Files\Common Files\Microsoft Shared\Web server
extensions\60\Template\Xml
In the <ByExtension> section of the Docicon.xml file, add an entry for the
..pdf file name extension. To do so, add the following line, where
NameofIconFile is the name of the .gif file:
<Mapping Key="pdf" Value="PDFIcon.gif"/>
For example, if the name of the .gif file is MyPicture.gif, add the
following line:
<Mapping Key="pdf" Value="MyPicture.gif"/>
On the File menu, click Save, and then quit Notepad.
Restart Microsoft Internet Information Services (IIS). To do so:
iisreset
