Setting catalog preferences
You can set preferences for indexing that apply globally to all subsequent indexes you
build. You can override some of these preferences for an individual index by selecting
different settings during the index-definition process.
To set catalog preferences:
1. Choose Edit > Preferences (Windows) or Acrobat > Preferences (Mac OS) and select
Catalog.
2. Select the preferences you want to change.
The options available resemble those found in the Options dialog box that you can open
during the process of creating a new index. (See
Advanced options for index descriptions
Other Catalog Preference options include indexing Adobe PDF documents located on
separate drives, enabling logging of the indexing process, and forcing ISO 9660
compatibility.
Forcing ISO 9660 compatibility is useful when you don't want to change long Adobe PDF
file names to MS-DOS file names as you prepare documents for indexing. However, you
must still use MS-DOS file-naming conventions for the folder names (8 digits or fewer)
even though this isn't necessary for the file names.
