Hello

Can anyone tell how to create index file to pdf document? We have pdf
documents taht are sized up to 70000 pages. Searching words from documents
of this size is very slow if there is no index file. Adobe reader creates
temporary file, but it disappeares when document is closed. I found a way to
fix this, I increased maximum cache size to 10000 mb and told to users that
they should keep their documents open for few hours after search then adobe
reader creates *.idx file to users local settings and since the cache size
is so big the *.idx file won't vanish.

But there is problem with this, because index files are very big and we use
roaming profiles so it takes time for profile to save over LAN. And ofcourse
some users won't follow directions :o(. So what I'm asking is, is there any
way to create some kind of solid index to pdf's, we are using Professional
version 6.0? Or does anyone know a way to change index file path for reader,
version is 6.0.1? Or does anyone have any ideas how to solve this problem?
