Question
Large, old Book w. embedded .pdx from Acrobat 9 Pro works in Acro 9 Pro but slow new Reader Version
The book has an embedded search index that I believe is of .pdx type.
When I open the .pdf in Acrobat 9 Pro and use "Open Full Acrobat Search" (ctl+shift+F)" and enter a search term, the hit list appears instantly. Even if there are thousands of hits.
If I do the same in newer versions of Acrobat Reader, the Full Search window opens, but it looks like the embedded index is ignored and the search query can take minutes to complete. It's acting like it is compiling a hit list by scanning the entire book. Each search takes about as long as it took to create the index in Acrobat 9 Pro.
Is there any way to remedy this without buying a new version of Acrobat?
