I like to create a subject index using Adobe Acrobat Pro. I have a pdf-file containing 560 pages and an Excel File containing 2400 words. Now, I like to know on which pages within the pdf-File I can find these words. Would one of you have an idea how to automate that?

What app does you use to create the PDF file?

We get the pdf from our publisher and they use InDesign. Does that help?
