Hi All:

I'm passing on the following information from Lisa

Original Problem

So, here's the problem: ... 
I created optimized and non-optimized versions of the pdf 
this afternoon, as well as versions with and without security 
and put them in different folders to go on the same cdrom.

I found that when testing the Search function in Acrobat to
see if it worked in each pdf after building each index, every 
time I would open a different pdf version, Acrobat remembered 
the index path of the last index I accessed and added it to 
the list of index path choices for the user to access when
Searching. It seemed impossible to get it to stop doing
that even though you can unselect ("remove") an index, but 
then the next one you open is going to have the same problem. 
..  I only want each pdf to access the index that is in its
own folder, as I originally built the index and set up the 
pdf to link to. But it seems that Acrobat remembers previous 
index paths each time you open up another copy.

We found that what appears to be the solution is to remember to rename
the
index something other than the default, which is index.pdx. So I named
the
most recent one TNSindex.pdx and I named the index folder TNSindex. I
kept
it close to the root so that the full name of the path wouldn't be too
many
characters and I trimeed the name to DOS eight-digit.three-digit format.
Previously the name had been TNSCCindex.pdx, so I had to trim it. It
worked
fine after this. I think the previous problem was that different pdfs
were
reading the same index.pdx path so naming them all something different
helps. If you think this would help the list, feel free to post
it...-Lisa
