I can't seem to pin down whether a series of pdf files (chapters in a book) can be compared to a selected list of words - in order to generate an index of those words and on which pages they occur (a la MSWord). I've looked at Acrobat, PageMaker/InDesign and a few others, and even called techsupport and customer service... and they seem to think it's possible but can't pinpoint the app that does it. Anyone here have experience with such an operation and is FrameMaker the proper app? TIA
