Creating PDF indexes

Create and manage an index in a PDF
You can reduce the time required to search a long PDF by embedding an index of the words in the document. Acrobat
can search the index much faster than it can search the document. The embedded index is included in distributed or
shared copies of the PDF. Users search PDFs with embedded indexes exactly as they search those without embedded
indexes; no extra steps are required.
For more information on using indexes for faster PDF searches, see Seneca Design & Training tips at
w.ww.senecadesign.com/designgeek/acrobat.html.

folders to PDF. This is especially recommended for folders containing many email messages.
