Definitely not with the free standard version of Acrobat. It may however be possible to create an index after the fact with an "authoring" version of Acrobat. There may be some dependencies on the embedded security, etc. which were applied when the pdf was created. Try searching on things like 'pdf index creation', etc. Cheers, Sam > > Thanks for the education none the less Sam. > > Regards, > Stan > > -----Original Message----- > From: IBM Mainframe Discussion List [mailto:IBM-MAIN@bama.ua.edu] On Behalf > Of Sam Siegel > Sent: Friday, March 18, 2011 12:56 PM > To: IBM-MAIN@bama.ua.edu > Subject: Re: creating mainframe bookmanager from pdf documents??? > > On Fri, Mar 18, 2011 at 9:27 AM, Stan Weyman <stan.wey...@emc.com> wrote: > >> Bookmanager's ability to search across shelves was the main feature I >> used when in Bookmanager otherwise I spent more time in the PDF version.
