In Adobe Acrobat there is a dedicated feature solving this task: Embed index. It builds search index and stores it inside the PDF file. You can indeed speedup your search significantly. In 2k pages manual you get results instantly instead of several seconds without embedded index. But: (1) It is supported in Acrobat Reader only. (2) That mechanism is undocumented. There is no specification of that format available. It means you are locked-in to Adobe software though some companies offer this feature as well, most likely based on some reverse engineering or leaked Acrobat source code (so the compatibility with the original is disputable). (3) That index cannot be embedded in bulk with standard Adobe tools. > Current Approach: > Placed both the generated lucene index and PDF in the folder.

Acrobat Reader has to understand your index. I doubt it can work out-of-the-box.
