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.
Add an index to a PDF- With the document open in Acrobat, choose
Advanced > Document Processing > Manage Embedded Index.
- In the Manage Embedded Index dialog box, click Embed
Index.
- Read the messages that appear, and click OK.
Note: In Outlook and Lotus Notes, you have the option of
embedding an index when you convert email messages or folders to
PDF. This is especially recommended for folders containing many
email messages.
Update or remove the embedded index in a PDF- Choose Advanced > Document Processing
> Manage Embedded Index.
- Click either Update Index or Remove Index.
