I've found an omission from Acrobat 6.0 that is going to cause me problems and might cause you problems, too. Searching multiple index files (.PDX) does not work like it used to in previous versions of Acrobat Reader. In previous versions, if you opened a PDF file with a PDX file attached, the PDX file was automatically added to the list of available indexes for searching. If you opened another PDF file with a different PDX file attached, that PDX file would also be added to the list of available indexes automatically. When you then conducted a search, the search would be conducted across both PDX files. This is really neat if you publish documentation sets on CD-ROMs and your customers want to search for information across numerous sets of documentation. They still have to open a document in each documentation set (or "library" as we refer to them) to get the PDX file attached, but we can do that programmatically for them. This happened automatically in Reader 5.0 and Reader 4.0 (and possibly as far back as 3.0). In Reader 6.0, you must instead manually build the list of available indexes by selecting "Select Index" on the new embedded Search form and manually adding the indexes you want to search. This is a cumbersome process that was not necessary in earlier versions of the Reader. Also, once you've added indexes to your list of available indexes, they stay active upon your next Reader session (after you close and restart Reader). Earlier versions of Reader reset (cleared) the list of available indexes upon each session and added them as PDF files were opened. I've reported this to Adobe as a bug, but since all I could find to do that was the bug report form on their website, I don't know if I'll see any results. So, I'm posting here hoping Adobe is monitoring this list with the recent release of their new product.
