The Force ISO 9660 Compatibility On Folders option is useful when you don't want to change long PDF filenames
to MS-DOS filenames as you prepare documents for indexing. However, you must still use MS-DOS file-naming
conventions for the folder names (8 characters or fewer) even though this isn't necessary for the filenames.
Scheduled index updates
You can schedule when and how often to automatically build, rebuild, update, and purge an index by using the
Catalog feature and a catalog batch PDX file (.bpdx). A BPDX file is a text file that contains a list of platform-
dependent catalog index file paths and flags. You use a scheduling application, such as Windows Scheduler or
Scheduler for Mac OS, to display the BPDX file in Acrobat. Acrobat then re-creates the index according to the flags
in the BPDX file.
For more detailed information on scheduling an indexing update, search for BPDX on the
website.
Moving collections and their indexes
You can develop and test an indexed document collection on a local hard drive and then move the finished document
collection to a network server or disk. An index definition contains relative paths between the index definition file
(PDX) and the folders containing the indexed documents. If these relative paths are unchanged, you don't have to
rebuild the index after moving the indexed document collection. If the PDX file and the folders containing the
indexed documents are in the same folder, you can maintain the relative path simply by moving that folder.
If the relative path changes, you must create a new index after you move the indexed document collection. However,
you can still use the original PDX file. To use the original PDX file, first move the indexed documents. Then copy
the PDX file to the folder where you want to create the new index, and edit the include and exclude lists of directories
and subdirectories, as necessary.
If the index resides on a drive or server volume separate from any part of the collection it applies to, moving either
the collection or the index breaks the index. If you intend to move a document collection either to another network
location or onto a CD, create and build the index in the same location as the collection.
