To search across all PDFs on a CD, create an Acrobat catalog, called a PDX. Checkout the Acrobat online help to get started.
To search PDFs and HTML both, hmmm, a Web page that calls a Google search? Cheers. -----Original Message----- From: [EMAIL PROTECTED] [mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED] On Behalf Of kamm Sent: Tuesday, December 12, 2006 11:44 AM To: [email protected] Subject: Re: [TCP] Indexing We index all manuals, with the exception of some jewel case inserts that are about eight pages. We haven't extensively surveyed our users, but have asked internal users how they find information. The responses included the usual suspects (search, index, TOC), so we provide all three. We typically index as we go, so doing the index does not bog us down at the end of a project. We also refine the index with each release, if necessary. One thing we haven't been able to resolve is how to allow searching across multiple PDFs at a time or all documentation provided on a documentation CD, which may include PDFs and HTML Help. Any ideas out there?
