This software can't be the best pdf editor around. This program is as lame as flash ever was. Whebn I try to index a folder full of documents, it take 1-2 days and when Its done there is no catalogue. It searched through all the documents and copuied them to a different folder, but created to catalogue. And now if I open one of the documents allegedly indexed, the only difference is it takes the edocument 5 minutes to open. There is no catalogfue and I can't tell if there even an index because if I clickinsert index or guided action I get nothing but a blank tool bar.

 

And then there's the "not responding" message that acrobat displays for anything more complicated than reading a pdf. I've got 128 gigs of ram, 23% being used and 15% of CPU and this garbage app still can't seem to do anything without locking up.

 

The more I use this garbqage app, the more I hate it. I'm, just going to down an old adobe version before subscription and cancel this subscription. I'm tired of paying adobe for nothing.

@brett_9534 why is it taking 1-2 days? Do you have massive files? Just open your PDF, go to Tools > Index, and select Manage Embedded Index. Click Embed Index.
