pdf headache

[Lisa McG------- <LMcG------- -at- thefund -dot- com>]

In case anyone knows the answer to this, I am having to be on No-Mail mode
temporarily because of my company's shutting down incoming email during the
current "i love you" virus scare. So if someone knows the answer to the
below scenario, could you send or "cc:" it to my alternate address:
lisamcg--- -at- aol -dot- com? Thanks, here's the problem:

I was finishing up a pdf of a 750+ page manual in Framemaker, which was
about 6.1 mb when I first distilled it. The person I'm preparing it for is
going to put it on a closed affiliate company website for customers who pay
for an account
there. That affiliate of ours is concerned about download times and byte
serving problems. They also wanted the index that Acrobat Catalog makes to
be included. They spoke of problems with byte-serving if looking at an
optimized pdf in IE5 although no problem with Netscape. Security on the pdf
was something I was concerned about too because although the affiliate
company initially receiving this is not someone we mind altering its
format, we would want the end user to not be able to change the document;
every time you resave a pdf you have to build a new index in Catalog...

So, here's the problem: to help this affiliate's concerns, I created
optimized and
non-optimized versions of the pdf this afternoon, as well as versions with
and without
security and put them in different folders to go on the same cdrom.

I found that when testing the Search function in Acrobat to see if it worked
in each pdf after building each index, every time I would open a different
pdf version, Acrobat remembered the index path of the last index I accessed
and added it to the list of index path choices for the user to access when
Searching. It seemed impossible to get it to stop doing that even though you
can unselect ("remove") an index, but then the next one you open is going to
have the same problem. I suppose the problem will be over with when the
affiliate decides which one he wants to use and puts it on his website
because then there will, I suppose, be only one index path for them to
choose from (unless the same computer that has the server also stores all
the versions I'm going to send the affiliate on a cdrom today...).  I only
want each pdf to access the index that is in its own folder, as I originally
built the index and set up the pdf to link to. But it seems that Acrobat
remembers previous index paths each time you open up another copy. 

Any clue on how I can get it to stop this? I'll be working on sending it out
today.
