How to attach the same search index PDX file to a batch of PDFs

I have a collection of PDF documents that are interrelated.  There is a search index PDX for them, which I usually attach to the main contents launch pad document. If a user starts there they have access to the search index for all documents.

However sometimes users will go straight and open an individual chapter without going to the main launch pad. If they do this the PDX is not available to them.

I have searched extensively for ways to attach the PDX to a batch of PDFs without success.  I have looked at the available Actions in the Acrobat Action Wizard and read many forum entries several times. So far I have not found a way to do this.  Can anyone help?  Have I missed something?

Did you ever figure out how to do this? I'm looking to batch clear the reference to the PDX file (Document Properties > Advanced > Search Index)

Hi @davids90391935 ,

 

I would assume that you've come accross the link below in the past:

 

 

Nevertheless, review the section: "Create an index for a collection (Acrobat Pro)", and see if you  could be missing one or more important steps.
